The transaction was carried out through an acquisition of 90% of the shares of BAC. The remaining 10% is in the hands of six BAC executives, who will remain at the firm. Joan Franco, founder and until now president, will leave BAC.<\/p>\n
BAC, based in Barcelona, closed last year with a turnover of EUR 21 million, which represents an increase of more than 20% compared to 2020. The firm has 340 employees and also has offices in Madrid, Zaragoza, the United Kingdom and Colombia. BAC was owned by 35 of its managers although not all were still active in the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe establishment in Spain is part of our roadmap and allows us to cover almost all of Western Europe; BAC is a condensed version of Socotec,\u201d says its president, Herv\u00e9 Montjotin, who believes that the merger will produce \u201cmany synergies, both technical and commercial.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Socotec it is a step forward in its internationalization. The company, which has just surpassed EUR one billion in turnover and has 9,700 employees, is present in 25 countries. The purchase of BAC means creating a platform in Spain, where it had no activity.<\/p>\n
