The IMF International Group, a leading French player in pressure control and regulation solutions for gas and liquid applications in critical environments, is reaching a new milestone with the acquisition of ADES Technologies. Founded in 1948, this company specializes in pneumatic and mechanical fluid sealing for demanding sectors such as Railway, Nuclear, and Defense.
Less than six months after its spin-off from the IMI Group and Capital Export’s investment, IMF International has completed its first strategic acquisition. The integration of ADES Technologies marks a significant step forward in the Group's ambitious development project, extending its offering to new markets such as railway and nuclear, and strengthening its international presence. The new entity now posts revenue of nearly €20 million with a workforce of 70 employees.
The acquisition of ADES Technologies aligns with a clear vision of growth and innovation: it enables IMF International to diversify its client portfolio and enrich its product offering with low- and medium-pressure solutions, complementing its expertise in high pressure. This complementarity opens up new opportunities to meet the specific needs of key accounts, with the capacity to propose custom-designed solutions with high technical added value.
This acquisition also enables IMF International to expand its business sectors, particularly in the railway and nuclear industries, historical markets for ADES Technologies, and to develop promising synergies, notably in Hydrogen and Defense.
Leveraging the international reach of ADES Technologies, which generates 52% of its revenue through exports, IMF International is further consolidating its international expansion strategy with the support of Capital Export. ADES Technologies already possesses a network of distributors and several subsidiaries in China and the USA, which will benefit the entire Group.
