The IMF International Group, a leading French provider of pressure control and regulation solutions for gaseous and liquid applications in critical environments, has taken a further step forward with the acquisition of ADES Technologies. Founded in 1948, ADES Technologies specializes in pneumatic and mechanical fluid seals for demanding sectors such as the rail, nuclear and defense industries.
Less than six months after exiting the IMI group and acquiring a stake in Capital Export, IMF International has made 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 railways and nuclear power, and strengthening its international presence. The new entity now boasts sales of almost 20 million euros and 70 employees.
The acquisition of ADES technologies is part of a clear vision of growth and innovation: it enables IMF International to diversify its customer portfolio and enhance its product offering in 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 ability to offer customized solutions with high technical added value.
This acquisition also enables IMF International to broaden its business sectors, particularly in the rail and nuclear sectors, Ades Technologies' traditional markets, and to develop promising synergies in Hydrogen and Defense in particular.
Building on the international dimension of ADES Technologies, which generates 52% of its sales from exports, IMF International is also consolidating its international expansion strategy with the support of Capital Export. ADES technologies already has a network of distributors and several subsidiaries in China and the USA, which will benefit the entire group.
