The leader in international expansion services for Small and Mid-Cap companies is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. On this occasion, M+V ALTIOS is proud to be a part of the ALTIOS Group and look back on the major stages of the journey so far…
The starting point: a vision, an innovative project
With the growth of international trade, all companies are asking themselves questions about their internationalization. Looking back 30 years, the geopolitical context was very different – the structuring of the European Union, integration of China into the WTO, continued growth of the United States, the rise of the BRICS, economic cycles in Latin America, etc. However, the constraints companies face conquering foreign markets remain the same today.
To start and then permanently establish an international business, SMEs and Mid-Caps are faced with complex, long and costly efforts. They do not necessarily have the expertise, financial resources or local support networks needed to successfully expand their operations on foreign markets.
On the other hand, many opportunities come with international expansion. This is a strategic issue for Small and Mid-Cap companies. The competitiveness of companies is increasingly assessed in terms of their ability to take advantage of the internationalization of markets and the opportunities for growth, innovation, and inspiration that this brings.
ALTIOS was born out of this observation in 1991 with a simple idea to meet the international development ambitions of exporting companies. ALTIOS is the story of a passion for international business and the meeting of 5 personalities – Bruno Mascart, David Gerard, Patrick Ferron, Boris Lechevalier and Klaus Maier – focusing on 3 key pillars:
ALTIOS has developed over the years to become the leading international advisory firm for Small and Mid-Cap companies wanting to expand in the G30, with nearly 750 talented employees in 22 countries. ALTIOS has remained independent, with its partners and managers holding 100% of its shares.
In 30 years of activity, ALTIOS has supported more than 10,500 businesses in Europe, the Americas and Asia to simplify their expansion process and facilitate their establishment in multiple global markets.
30 years of expansion: Highlights
Since 1991, ALTIOS has carried out 10,500+ internationalization projects, set up 1,700 local entities and manage 2,000+ employees on behalf of its clients as they expand around the world.
New business needs: from Export to Internationalization
Over the past two decades, we have seen a profound change in strategies that our clients choose for their international expansion. They increasingly want to keep control of their operations and their clientele so as not to depend on commercial partners (distributors, agents, etc.) who do not allow them to fully control their market, their pricing policy or simply their business strategy.
ALTIOS’ services have thus evolved considerably over the last few years to go beyond traditional marketing and sales assistance services. In increasingly competitive international markets, and even more so in the high-potential Tier I markets, an exporting company must facilitate the purchase of its products by its customers and anticipate a local presence, even if it is only slight, to accelerate and sustain its development.
ALTIOS has developed to offer real expertise integrating all the internationalization solutions enabling companies to expand at each stage of their growth on a market.
Solutions adapted to each key stage of internationalization
1. Strategize: definition of the international expansion plan, potential, organization, roadmap, financing,
2. Expand: establishment of commercial networks abroad, market research, business development, strategic partnerships,
3. Set up: by providing HR solutions (recruitment, management, hosting…) and/or management of foreign subsidiaries (incorporation, accounting administration, tax…),
4. Investment: through industrial implementation (build) or external growth (buy).
