Scalian: reinventing growth
The arrival of Winch Capital marks a turning point for the group: I have become chairman and we are quickly making acquisitions in our two sectors. The change of name from Eurogiciel to Scalian has completed this new phase.
B2S: creating one of the leading French firms in customer relations
The adventure with Winch Capital has been energising, we have consolidated the foundations of the group and expanded our business. Today, another page is turning with the acquisition of the Italian market leader, Comdata, giving birth to a European champion.
Turbocoating: hypergrowth abroad
Over the past 5 years the group has completely changed scale. The team supported us during this period of hypergrowth, notably when launching the JV with GE Aviation in the USA and during multiple other strategic decisions leading to solid and sound organic growth.
