France's Aserti buys electronics repair firm ADLC to expand across Europe

What's the deal? French group AsertiDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has acquired France-based ADLCDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and its subsidiary Reman, both specialists in electronics repair, for an undisclosed sum. The deal adds 52 employees, €7.6 million in revenue, and roughly 300 test benches to the Vannes-based group.

The companies: Founded in 1987, ADLC repairs electronic boards and sub-assemblies, serving lift makers and maintenance firms, while Marseille-based Reman focuses on automotive electronics. Together they handle about 30,000 products a year across sites in Dardilly, Marseille, and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine.

The strategic rationale: The acquisition expands Aserti's historic electronics repair business into the lift and embedded automotive markets. It also lifts the group's test-bench fleet to around 700, up from more than 400, and strengthens its commercial reach in Europe — notably ADLC's positions in Italy and Belgium.

What changes? The two new subsidiaries will be led by Florence Bertrand, director of Aserti Electronic FranceDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. The group plans to keep existing teams and management in place to preserve technical skills and client continuity.

The three firms share a circular-economy approach, extending equipment lifespan rather than replacing it. ADLC and Reman earn 12% of revenue abroad, mainly in Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Why now? This is Aserti's fourth acquisition in five years, following three deals in metrology. The move comes after Chequers CapitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → took a stake in Aserti in March 2026, backing its external-growth strategy.

"This acquisition lets us combine different and complementary technical skills, while sharing the same demand for service quality, meeting deadlines, and proximity to our clients," said Bertrand (translated from French).

Aymeric Wallaert, Aserti's mergers and acquisitions director, said the deal marks "a new step in our external-growth strategy, alongside Chequers Capital, to make our group a benchmark player on a European scale" (translated from French).

The signal: Founded in 1992, Aserti employs nearly 400 people across 28 sites in France and Germany and posted €50 million in consolidated revenue in 2025. Its buying spree points to steady consolidation in a maintenance market increasingly driven by circular-economy demands.
