Visiomed Group sets out new ambitions by becoming Klea Holding1 and strengthens its strategy launched in 2022
1. Following a successful restructuring and the repositioning of its activities, the Group is now heading towards further industry and geographical diversification by becoming Klea Holding (Klea).
2. Klea’s strategy is to invest in innovative companies across various sectors, in France and internationally, and to support their growth following the same model as what has been done for Smart Salem and Smart Health over the last 2 years.
3. Requested by its shareholders, the development of operations in France becomes also an important objective for the Group.
VISIOMED GROUP (FR0013481835 - ALVMG) becomes Klea Holding with the ambition to develop new activities in new markets.
New ambition, new strategy
"Over the past two years, the Group has undergone a radical and rapid transformation: new governance, new activities, new geographies, strong growth and recurring profits. Based on this successful restructuring, and now building on a stable and solid financial performance, the Group is strengthening its ambitions: we want to capitalize on our expertise and know-how to launch a new phase of our development," says Clément Pacaud, Chief Executive Officer.
"Klea will double down on a successful approach and pursue scalable and entrepreneurial projects with high growth potential in France and internationally with the objective to be present in a wide range of sectors, beyond healthcare. The goal is to invest and develop our existing and future assets into innovative leaders in their respective markets. This approach and this know-how have been the Group's strength for the past two years, with the success of Smart Salem in the United Arab Emirates and, tomorrow, Smart Health in Saudi Arabia. We want to replicate it without geographical or industry constraints."
