With the support of Ardian's Expansion team, T&S is positioned at the forefront of the European consulting and engineering industry.
Founded in 2008, T&S has established itself as a specialist in engineering, digital and project management consulting, with recognized expertise in embedded systems. The company has experienced very strong growth of more than 20% every year, both organically and externally. The merger with Intys Partners, a European firm recognized as a major partner in management consulting with more than 450 employees, is a new step for T&S in its "scale up 2024" plan. It aims to create a one-stop-shop for clients to access the best combination of specialists for their technological transformation.
The combined group will count more than 2,400 employees and show strong expertise, sector and geographic complementarities.
It is now a leading consulting firm, offering expertise in three primary areas: engineering consulting, digital consulting, and operational performance consulting. The geographical footprint is strongly reinforced in the Benelux and now extends from Europe (France, Switzerland, Germany, Benelux) to Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore).
As a multi-specialist player in high-growth niche markets, the merger with Intys Partners will enable the group to strengthen its sector expertise in Healthcare, which now represents 13% of combined revenues.
Attracting new talent – an essential pillar to the Group’s strategy - will be strengthened by offering opportunities for career growth and opportunities to work abroad.
Globally, new synergies resulting from the integration of Intys Partners will enable T&S group to develop around strong brands which are better able to serve clients.
"Intys is above all a meeting with a manager and a company with a similar history to the one of T&S. The strong complementarity of our offers, our businesses and above all of our people will enable us to achieve our common ambition of going further, stronger, together. " Jérémie Huss, Co-Founder and CEO of T&S Group
"Recently, one of our major clients told me: "Intys, we greatly appreciate your ability to understand our business, but also the innovative way you look at our projects. The question I want to ask you is, when will you be ready to deliver the same level of quality not only in Belgium, but also further abroad?" Today, with this merger, I am convinced that we are ready. “ Philippe Metz, CEO of Intys
"Supporting high-growth, ambitious companies looking to expand outside their home market is at the heart of our investment philosophy. We are pleased to support the management of T&S in this new stage of development, which confirms the group's abilitý to continue its growth while participating in the consolidation of the sector."
