Paris, 31 May, 2016 – TRIGO Group has been awarded with the “Grand Prix of the External Growth” prize in the International Mid Cap category by the Corporate Finance News magazine and their partners at an award ceremony that was held for the 9th time.
The prize rewards TRIGO’s acquisition strategy which was initiated in 2008 and materialized in five acquisitions over the period, the latest being the operation with The PIC Group (North American leader of Quality management services for the automotive industry) in 2015. By joining forces with PIC, TRIGO has become the undisputable global leader of its market with a footprint covering more than 20 countries and more than 7000 quality professionals.
Alban Neveux, Managing Director of Advention BP, handed over the award to Matthieu Rambaud, CEO of the TRIGO Group.
“I would like to thank the Jury for this award which symbolizes the recognition of corporate finance professionals of our successful external growth strategy over the past 8 years. The transaction with PIC has been a transforming acquisition for us, as it provides truly global coverage to our customers.” explains Matthieu Rambaud.
“Looking forward, we intend to keep on growing both organically and through acquisitions as we operate in a market which is still very fragmented and in which our customers require broader geographic coverage and comprehensive service portfolio and capabilities.” adds Mr. Rambaud.
Following the transaction with The PIC Group, TRIGO has created a unique solution delivery platform focused on operational quality solutions for the automotive, aerospace and heavy transportation industries. The Group’s North American presence has become significant; it just opened its first aeronautical site in Alabama, in the proximity of a new Airbus plant.
