Following a successful period under the guidance of MCH Private Equity and Eurazeo, we welcome Ardian as our new majority partner to support the next phase of our international expansion and to further strengthen our technological leadership. This transaction remains subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

Since March 2023, with the support of MCH Private Equity and Eurazeo and driven by the strategic vision of our President & CEO, Jeremy Palacio, the Fermax Group has delivered strong financial performance and sustained operational excellence. We are closing this three-year cycle having exceeded our forecasts and strategic objectives, achieving solid growth in both sales and EBITDA.

Thanks to the confidence our customers place in our brand, we have successfully leveraged our strong value proposition to increase our market share in key countries such as Spain, France, Portugal, and Poland. In Poland, in particular, we have recently reinforced our growth strategy through the strategic acquisition of S-Labs, completed successfully in the last quarter of 2025. This operation not only strengthens our position in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets, but also brings complementary talent and technology to the Fermax Group. At the same time, we have consolidated our presence and commercial leadership in both the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
