Entegra acquires AMi2 and extends its scope in France to the health sector

Entegra expands in France in the health and medico-social sector by acquiring AMi2.

The Entegra model is based on four pillars dedicated to a clientele with multiple needs: the pooling of purchases, personalised service and advice, digital tools, and CSR commitment, with the aim of improving the operational performance of its customers.

 

Following the acquisition of CHR-HA eighteen months ago, Entegra continue to grow their presence supporting independent businesses in the hospitality industry in France with pooling procurement. As a market leader in the health and medico-social segment for over 20 years in the United States, Entegra is now extending its expertise in France with the acquisition of AMi2, a recognised specialist in group purchasing within this segment.

 

The alliance of the two companies is highly complementary in terms of culture and values. They have the same approach to procurement challenges and to the specificities of their clients, a drive to support and strengthen CSR goals, alongside a great territorial anchoring. The newly founded entity doubles its workforce with over 60 employees, and its purchasing volumes (food and non-food), enabling them to deliver even more value with its partners, suppliers, and clients.  

 

“The acquisition of AMi2 is a great opportunity for Entegra to strengthen its position in France and to consolidate its presence in key development sectors such as hospitality, health, and medico-social. I am delighted with this new step in the dynamics of Entegra, which I look at as the growth of a collective and the enriching of our existing expertise” Alban Pesquet, CEO Entegra France.

 

By joining forces with Entegra, AMi2 strengthens its negotiating capacity and broadens its expertise. Specialising in the health and medico-social sector, AMi2 are now supported by Entegra’s rich knowledge and agile innovation of procurement solutions.

 

AMi2 has been a key player in the food and non-food group purchasing sector for health and medico-social establishments for the last 35 years. They maintain a close relationship to their members and suppliers, and now join Entegra to grow to new heights with the backing of a partner that has both a human dimension, and the strength of an international group behind them. This strategic choice will complement our operations and build a balanced and sustainable relationship for the AMi2 teams and its partners” Karin Warin, AMi2 CEO.

 

Entegra is pleased to enrich its overall operational support to its clients in France through leveraging the diverse skillset of both entities.
