COMPANY Team History Facts and figures DEVELOPMENT POLICY Our vision Corporate profile Our commitment CORE BUSINESSES Specialty Chemicals Modular Aluminium Systems Precision Mechanics Instrumentation Modular Aluminium Systems For 20 years, we have been helping companies who sell high value-added products and services to grow. We position ourselves as real partners and therefore have chosen only to become involved in professions in which we have expert knowledge. We vary our activity by acquiring companies who operate in different sectors (industrial, building), different areas (stainless steel, plastics, mechanics etc.) and in different countries. This way, we spread the operating risks in order to guarantee the industrial longevity of Oryx Partner. We handle handover and financing issues with the aim of creating strategic and economic deployment. We offer our businesses our expertise, network and know-how in order to stimulate growth and reveal their potential. We work with them to make them the leaders of the future. This is achieved by providing organic or external reinforcements and proposing innovative handover or funding strategies adapted to suit them. We work together with our teams of entrepreneurs to define the new strategic and financial directions to take. These are then linked to the value creation of our businesses. We have an active and enduring approach to commitment, which means that we carefully select the companies with whom we wish to invest.
