Translink CF acted as the advisor to SOCOTEC Germany, a portfolio company of COBEPA, on the acquisition of TRIGIS GeoServices and its subsidiaries
Translink Corporate Finance in Germany advised SOCOTEC Germany, a leading provider of services in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) sector, on the acquisition of TRIGIS GeoServices (TRIGIS) and its subsidiaries. This acquisition strengthens SOCOTEC Germany’s position in the geodata and surveying industry and significantly expands its service portfolio.
Christian Hörner, Managing Partner at Translink Corporate Finance Germany, said, “The SOCOTEC story is an impressive one. A purely French inspection service provider for building infrastructure with a turnover of just under EUR 400 million has become an internationally positioned group in the field of risk management, planning, inspection and consulting along the life cycle of buildings and infrastructure. The group has reported turnover of over EUR 1.3 billion over the last 8 years. We at Translink are delighted to have been able to play a key role in supporting our long-standing client in the implementation of its M&A strategy in Germany. The partnership with TRIGIS is a consistent and decisive step in this direction and enables SOCOTEC to further expand its service portfolio in Germany. Thanks to the monitoring and geodata services provided by TRIGIS, SOCOTEC is now supporting the maintenance and rapid expansion of infrastructure and the implementation of the energy transition in a significant way.”
TRIGIS operates subsidiaries that provide specialised services in related fields, creating a comprehensive service offering. With its acquisition by SOCOTEC Germany, TRIGIS will be able to further expand its capabilities and leverage synergies within the SOCOTEC Group to offer clients innovative and forward-thinking solutions.
