In its press release of 27 June, ACTIA Group announced that the work done with Plastic Omnium had led to the signing of an agreement on 26 June 2022. Today, 1st August 2022, the definitive agreement to finalise the sale of ACTIA Group’s Power Division to Plastic Omnium was signed, in the amount of €52.5 million.
“It is as much a vital step in the development of the activities initiated within the Power Division, whose growth is expected to continue within the Plastic Omnium Clean Energy Systems division, as it is for ACTIA itself. Indeed, we must both prepare for ACTIA’s future growth in various sectors and, at the same time, maintain our competitive edge and our technological and industrial footprint by pursuing certain investments, particularly in R&D. Our position in the field of embedded electronics is solid and it is on this core business that we have chosen to focus as a priority”, says Jean-Louis Pech, CEO of ACTIA Group.
This transaction, as well as the disposal undertaken in the field of Technical Inspection in April, reinforces the financial structure of ACTIA by contributing to reducing its debt by approximately €60 million.
ACTIA is therefore able to reaffirm its objective of achieving revenue in excess of €800 million within the next four years.
