What we achieved together

Organisation

The group has progressively increased cross-selling between its business units. Building up the sales organisation leveraged synergies to maximize opportunities and drive growth.

Acquisitions

16 add-on acquisitions have broadened the service portfolio and geographic footprint. The acquisitions of CDS (2023) and Igeam (2024) were transformative, strengthening Fulgard’s position as a market leader across its business units.

Investments

Fulgard has made significant investments to strenghen its central functions in key strategic areas like M&A, operations, and sales.

Rebranding

To support the group’s growth, the company has successfully completed a comprehensive integration process of the various acquired companies, which finalised with the rebranding to Fulgard in 2024.

«Fulgard was originally an SME focused on fire safety solutions; alongside the management we transformed it into the Italian leader in workplace health, safety and security. It is another example of Argos’ strategy at work: in less than 5 years we completed 16 acquisitions, tripling both revenues and EBITDA while maintaining the highest standards of service quality. We are very proud to have been part of Fulgard’s story, and we look forward to seeing this company thrive. »
