TCS Acquires France's Alti SA For Over 530 Cr


As a long term strategic market for TCS, with leading edge infrastructure and a highly skilled engineering talent pool, France was a natural destination for the company to invest in towards our future growth, he added.

"The important investments made by TCS in its two sites in France (Ile-de-France and Lille) since February 2013 are true testimonials to the capability of France to welcome and integrate companies from abroad that have installed themselves on our soil," French Republic Minister for Economic Regeneration Arnaud Montebourg said.

Assessed at over 30 billion euros, the France IT services market is the largest in Europe, after the UK and Germany. TCS has been operating in France since 1992 and has over 50 clients in the country.

Earlier, Alti SA was a privately-held company owned by its management and two private equity funds, CM-CIC LBO Partners and IDI, which supported its growth from a revenue base of 64 million euro in 2007 to 126 million euro in 2012.

Regarded as one of the top five system integrators of enterprise solutions in France, Alti's key customers comprise several top French corporations in the banking, financial services, luxury, manufacturing and utilities sectors.

The company has 1,200 employees based in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
