Development strategy

ARYES invests both in boni companies and, based on its experience in this field, in companies in situations of difficulty or change (ad-hoc mandates, conciliations, safeguards or judicial redress). Owned by its managers, ARYES is financially but also humanly committed to the success of the projects undertaken by its subsidiaries, fully assuming its duties as a controlling shareholder.

1

Recovery

ARYES continues to apply its initial strategy focused on the recovery of companies in difficulty. This approach consists in identifying companies that are experiencing financial or operational problems and intervening to stabilize them and improve their profitability. ARYES specifically targets the acquisition and investment in companies with a turnover of between 5 and 50 million euros, present in “business to business” oriented activities, both in industry and in services.

2

Consolidation by acquisition

At the same time, ARYES is implementing a strategy of consolidation by acquisition. This approach consists in acquiring companies in good financial health (in-bonus), and whose activities are complementary or similar to those of the group. This approach allows ARYES to broaden its reach in targeted sectors, to benefit from operational synergies and to strengthen its position on the market. By promoting both the internal development of its subsidiaries and by integrating new high-performance entities, ARYES consolidates its existing business areas and pursues its growth in a balanced and sustainable manner.
