TURNOVER OF €1,511 MILLION

In a tougher economic landscape, SYNERGIE shows the relevance of its strategy and geographical diversification, with a half-year turnover of €1,511 million (+5.6% vs last year and +3.2% in a like-for-like basis).

France (43% of consolidated turnover) stood by its sound performance, thanks to a significant input from the industry, particulary the aerospace and automotive sectors.

Outside France, the turnover improved in Southern Europe (+1.8%) where Italy has remained a key growth enabler with a turnover of €385 million (+4.9%), representing more than 25% of the total turnover. Northern and Eastern Europe (+7.9%) and the outside Europe zone (+2.2% at constant exchange rates) has pursued their growth trajectory. The two recently acquired businesses have strongly contributed to the performance in Northern and Eastern Europe: INTERKADRA, a Polish company acquired in November 2022, delivered a €29 million turnover in the first half of the year, and the German group RUNTIME contributed by €10 million in May and June 2023 (closed in May 2023).
