With a 665-strong branch network in France and abroad, Synergie confirms its very good year with consolidated turnover over nine months of €1,695 million, up 15.5% compared with 2016 (+15.7% on a like-for-like basis).

The Group's development outside France continued at a very sustained pace over the period, reaching €844.5 million (+20.2%), particularly in southern Europe (+30.2%) and Benelux (+12.2%), with the other geographic areas all recording a substantial rise.

In France, turnover amounted to €850.5 million (+11.2%), with Synergie remaining selective to preserve its profitability.

This growth is the result of gaining market share from major new accounts and their subcontractors, thanks to innovative offers in leading sectors such as aeronautics, renewable energy, shipbuilding and new information and communications technologies.

An agreement to take over 80% of the Austrian company VÖLKER was signed at the end of September and the integration in the consolidated financial statements should take place from 1 November 2017.

VÖLKER's turnover should total some €65 million in 2017 (+14%), thanks to its network of 15 branches established in the most dynamic regions of Austria. 

Confident of its performance and its solid financial position, the Synergie Group confirms its objective to generate turnover in excess of €2.2 billion over the current financial year, and to significantly boost profitability.
