Acquisition of the German Group SIGMA
The IVALIS Group's continued quest for internationalisation
L'INVENTORISTE SA (IVALIS group) has acquired today the German group SIGMA
Created in 1993 by Steffen HOLOCH, the SIGMA group Inventuren und
Bestandskontrollen GmbH is the most important independent provider of inventory
outsourcing in Germany and Switzerland, with an offer that covers the entire
integrated inventory management process chain. Its clients are essentially large
food and do-it-yourself retailers. With 250 permanent employees, the group has
four branches in Germany (Chemnitz, Stuttgart, Leipzip and Bamberg), one branch
in Austria (Brunn) and one branch in Switzerland (Lucerne).
The SIGMA group earned a turnover of ?17 million in 2012 for an EBITDA of ?1.7
million with a positive net cash position as of 31/12/2012.
The SIGMA group will be consolidated as of 1 July 2013 in the INVENTORISTE SA
accounts.
Its acquisition has been financed with a loan from a bank pool and OSEO.
SIGMA's geographic coverage and business assets are complementary to those of
IVALIS Deutschland and will allow the IVALIS group to be number two on the
German inventory market and no. 1 in Switzerland and Austria. With a turnover of
around ?50 million, the IVALIS Group, in its new configuration, is a leader on
the Western European market.
Moreover, the IVALIS group is continuing its development outside of Europe in
order to assist major retailers. A new stage will begin with the opening of a
branch in Brazil in June 2013 (IVALIS Servicos de estoque LTDA).
INVENTORISTE specialises in inventory outsourcing in all retail sectors
(hypermarkets, supermarkets, do-it-yourself, textiles, perfume, costume
jewellery, sports, gardening, culture, leisure and logistics). The Group has
branches in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Germany and the
Netherlands, an agency in Portugal as well as a franchise in Morocco. The
branches that provide their services in all European Union countries, Russia
and Turkey and the key European actors in inventory management are part of
the group
The IVALIS group is made up of the INVENTORISTE holding company and its
branches in Europe, all of which bear the IVALIS name.
