A recognized specialist in training for safety and fire risk prevention, SI Groupe has announced its merger with Valto, a national group dedicated to workplace safety and health training as well as risk prevention. Advised by AURIS Finance, this strategic operation enables both players to strengthen their position as a leading reference in professional training in France, combining technical expertise with nationwide deployment capabilities.
SI Groupe, expert in safety training
With 4 branches across France and a strong network of partners, SI Groupe has established itself as a key player in training, auditing, and consulting in safety, fire prevention, and first aid.
- More than 70 training programs offered (initial, continuing, refresher courses)
- 5,000 trainees trained each year
- Access to numerous RNCP and RS certified titles
- Support for learners towards employability and career transitions
Valto, a national group specialized in regulatory training
Based in Clichy (92), Valto brings together 7 training organizations specialized in regulatory training with revenues exceeding €20m. Each entity has its own expertise, covering training in working at heights, electrical and mechanical certifications, workplace first aid, fire safety, and CACES (safety driving licenses). While maintaining managerial autonomy, they benefit from the support of their parent company for both back-office functions and business development.
A value-creating merger
This merger combines SI Groupe’s specialization in safety, first aid, and risk prevention—areas experiencing strong growth—with Valto’s nationwide strength.
- For Valto: enrichment of the training catalog and reinforcement in a strategic sector.
- For SI Groupe: accelerated growth within a structured group while retaining operational independence.
Together, the two entities consolidate their position as a reference in professional training in France.
