Organised around three complementary industrial sites located near the Arve Valley, Molliex Frères, Lacroix Poncet and Experdeco stand out for their wide range of expertise and mastered technologies: co-design, bar turning, machining, grinding, broaching and assembly.
The integration of all this know-how, coupled with a fleet of more than 160 machines, enables the group to serve critical industries such as energy, defence, hydraulics, agri-food, automotive and textiles.
With consolidated turnover of £11 million in 2023, the group is one of the few players in the Arve Valley to offer such sectoral diversity, enabling it to ensure French technological sovereignty.
Founded in 2019 by Philippe Rivière and Patrice Rives, ACI Group aims to consolidate industrial SMEs in order to become a leading player in industrial subcontracting, capitalising on the experience and expertise of its two founders. The group has developed as a specialist in the Defence & Security, Energy, Mobility and Aeronautics sectors.
ACI Groupe has pro forma revenue in excess of €150 million and operates in five regions (Loire, Savoie, Bourgogne Franche Comté, IDF-Grand Est, Vallée de L’Arve). With 1,100 employees, ACI Groupe supports nearly 3,000 customers worldwide.
This operation strengthens ACI Groupe’s expertise in bar turning, enabling it to consolidate its position as a leader in fixed headstock technology in the Arve Valley. This industrial alliance once again demonstrates ACI Groupe’s commitment to reindustrialisation and French technological sovereignty, which is essential for meeting the challenges of tomorrow.
The I-Deal Development team was involved in all stages of the transaction on behalf of its client, ACI Groupe.
