The Kiloutou Group has just acquired Alain Location, a company specialising in the rental of civil engineering equipment in the Anjou area.
This company, created in 1998, has an excellent image of quality of service and professionalism with its customers, independent tradesmen, SMEs and major national accounts. Alain Location operates 2 branches in Angers, run by 17 teammates. They provide professionals with a fleet of more than 700 machines, mainly loaders, excavators and compactors.
Kiloutou, true to its values, will rely on the experience and know-how of the teams in place to continue to develop Alain Location’s business. These teammates will be able to take advantage of all the professional opportunities offered by the group, both locally and nationally, and thus contribute to its continued expansion.
“This acquisition is perfectly in line with our strategy: we are continuing to develop our multi-specialist network of branches, in particular with our civil engineering customers, whom we want to serve very closely. It illustrates once again our interest in acquiring companies that have developed real expertise and a real quality of service, whether in the field of civil engineering, in access or in specialties. I am very happy to welcome Alain Location’s team to the Kiloutou Group.”
Xavier du Boÿs, Chairman and CEO of the Kiloutou Group
“The pride of a company director is to carry a project and to build a solid team that carries the desire to progress further. Today I have proof of our success. Alain Location has joined the Kiloutou brand, which has found in us values, skills and a strong enough presence to successfully write a new page in the company’s history. I would like to wish Kiloutou great success and full success to its new teammates.”
Alain Vérité, Chairman and majority shareholder of Alain Location
On a national level, this transaction is part of the Kiloutou Group’s ongoing development dynamic, with regular organic growth and continued external growth following the acquisitions already made of the access rental activities of the Mediaco (December 2010) and AltéAd (June 2011) groups, of BM Loc and Top Loc (end 2011), of Starlift and Urbaparc (end 2012) and of Most (November 2013). It will enable Kiloutou to consolidate its integrated network of specialists and to continue its steady growth in market share.
