It places skilled, semi-skilled, trades and professional personnel across 25 offices in Australia, delivering workforce solutions to enterprise clients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Proman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Proman is an independent, family-owned French company led by Roland Gomez, with revenues of EUR 4.6bn in 2025. Operating in 18 countries, it employs over 6,500 staff and deploys more than 110,000 temporary workers. It ranks as the 10th largest staffing provider globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Deal context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Australia is one of the world&rsquo;s largest labour hire and temporary staffing markets. The country offers a stable regulatory environment, with strong tailwinds in renewable energy and infrastructure construction. Both sectors sit at the core of Protech&rsquo;s client base. For Proman, the investment represents a strategic entry into the Australian market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Clairfield&rsquo;s role<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Clairfield acted as exclusive sellside advisor to Protech. The engagement began with exit readiness and pre-deal structuring work before moving into a formal sale process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">At that stage, Clairfield&rsquo;s crossborder teams in Australia and France collaborated to design a deal structure suited to the transaction&rsquo;s complexity. The team then ran a fast-paced diligence and negotiation process through to close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":72908,"template":"","country":[16,23],"office_involved":[371,363],"service":[4],"sector":[10],"transaction_format":[41,42],"class_list":["post-72895","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-australia","country-france","office_involved-australia","office_involved-france","service-mergers-acquisitions","sector-business-services","transaction_format-case-studies","transaction_format-track-record"],"acf":{"intro_text":"Protech, one of Australia's most successful staffing companies, entered into a strategic equity partnership with Proman, a privately held French company with a significant global footprint in most major markets.","image_mode":"double","transaction_image":72904,"text_between_images":"Strategic partnership","transaction_image_2":72898,"transaction_text":"Advisor to Protech","similar_transactions":[67684,67464,60134,57807,56444,54375,54386,23320,24274],"team":[1275,1259,1513,56183]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Protech enters into strategic partnership with French group Proman<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Protech has entered a strategic equity partnership with French human capital group Proman.
