Sale of the SIGMA MEDITERRANEE group to the group VALUE IT

Carcassonne, July 4, 2022 – Investment Banking TwinL is supporting the backing of the Sigma Méditerranée Group to the VALUE IT Group.

Mandated by the shareholders of the Sigma Mediterranean Group (Sigma Méditerranée and Eponia) to assist them in the research and negotiation of a backing with an industrial partner, the VALUE IT Group was selected at the end of the process managed by TwinL Investment Banking in less than 9 months.

Value IT thus reinforces its external growth strategy and completes its service offer and its geographical networking policy since Sigma Méditerranée shines in Occitania through two branches located in Lézignan and Carcassonne. The company supports its customers in their digital transformation project, relying in particular on the convergence of the IT and telecom businesses.

Jeremy Orlowski, CEO of Value IT, is delighted with this strategic move: «We integrate with Sigma Méditerranée an IT expert who will complement our areas of expertise, strengthen our expertise, and thus provide a complete and global response to the expectations of our customers, SMEs, VSEs, ISEs.»

For Pascal Chavernac, founder of the Sigma Group «Jérémy Orlowski has all the human qualities to continue the adventure of SIGMA: The values of VALUE IT are similar in all respects to those of SIGMA Méditerranée. Jérémy has the will to federate his teams around the corporate project by strong values: professionalism, kindness, right to error, trust, proximity, conviviality. I am very confident for the future. This merger is very important to provide the sustainability and growth necessary for SIGMA and the entire VALUE IT group. The technological advances and mastery of our Private Cloud offer, which we have been developing for 12 years, will be a very important competitive advantage. ‘

Nicolas Renard, associated with Pascal Chavernac in Eponia becomes the new Regional Director for Occitania, is equally enthusiastic: “This operation seemed obvious to us, we share the same corporate DNA with Value IT: the pooling of our resources, but also expertise, know-how, certifications will allow us to achieve our goal: become a must in the field of IT in Occitania.”

The Value IT group confirms its position as a key player and expert in IT services in the AURA, IDF, and Occitanie regions with a consolidated turnover of €14m and now 65 employees.

TwinL mission was to approach French players in the ESN sector in order to allow Sigma Group shareholders to choose among different projects: mission accomplished that Pascal Chavernac comments as follows: ‘The TwinL team was extremely efficient because in a very short time they were able to exploit all the best assets of the SIGMA Mediterranean Group and EPONIA. Because of their expertise and professionalism, they were able to advise us to help us select the best candidate among the many applicants. I am very pleased to have completed this business with Jérémy Orlowski, who will be able to perpetuate the human values of the SIGMA Mediterranean Group.”
