The company has established itself as a leading player in its region, capable of meeting the specific needs of companies seeking qualified talent. Based in Bordeaux, ENERGIA has significant coverage throughout the Gironde region.
To support its growth and address the increasing demand for qualified professionals, ENERGIA aims to expand further across the national territory, particularly in the South-West.
To achieve its objectives and continue its expansion, ENERGIA has chosen to partner with a major player in recruitment and human resources. This strategic alliance will allow ENERGIA to accelerate its development by benefiting from the resources and support needed to reach its ambitious goals.
The Role of AURIS Finance
The merger process began when ENERGIA sought out AURIS Finance for its expertise in human resources. The goal was to identify a strategic partner capable of supporting the company’s rapid growth while preserving its identity and values.
AURIS Finance structured the project by highlighting potential synergies between ENERGIA and various market players. Comprehensive documentation was prepared to attract potential partners, and ACTUAL GROUP was identified as the ideal candidate, thanks to its extensive network and recognized expertise in human resources.
AURIS Finance played a key role in the negotiations, ensuring that ENERGIA’s interests were safeguarded and that the integration terms were optimal for both parties.
The transaction concluded with ACTUAL GROUP acquiring a majority stake in ENERGIA, while allowing the CEO to retain a significant share, aligning the interests of both parties and ensuring successful integration.
