International advisory firm JLL has acquired the French supply chain consulting business Vincia, as part of a strategy to expand its industrial and logistics business across the EMEA region
Established 20 years ago in Aix-en-Provence, France, Vincia works in particular with the manufacturing and distribution services sectors, JLL said.
'At a time of changing purchasing behaviour and the widespread introduction of omni-channel services, the logistics and supply chain market presents new opportunities for our clients,' said Charles Boudet, managing director, JLL France.
'This acquisition strengthens our expertise in the sector and is key to enhancing our ambitions to grow our supply chain and logistics operations in France and beyond,' Boudet added.
'The acquisition of Vincia enables us to respond to the growing market demand for supply chain consulting services. It is an expansion of our capabilities in the sector which follows our acquisition of GCL Europe in 2014,' said Laurent Vallas, regional director and industrial and logistics assets sponsor, JLL France.
Fabrice Mattei and Pascal Querro, co-founders of Vincia, added: 'We have worked with JLL for a number of years on key projects. These shared experiences have always delivered great value to our clients and have proven that we share the same principles and culture of excellence.'
