Ardian Acquires Stake in JPB Systeme

Ardian has acquired a stake in JPB Système, a provider of solutions for the aerospace sector and Industry 4.0.

Founded in 1995 and led by Damien Marc, who succeeded his father in 2005, JPB Système is a strategic partner to major global engine manufacturers, including Pratt & Whitney, Safran, GE and Rolls-Royce, due to its portfolio of patented products and strong capacity for innovation.

The partnership is designed to consolidate JPB Système's leadership in its core markets and support the company's entry into new segments through a sustained innovation policy and close customer relationships based on a deep understanding of their needs.

Ardian will leverage the strength of its international network and its expertise in supporting high-growth companies to help drive the group's technological and organizational development.

Ardian also intends to support the commercial and technological development of JPB Système's innovations, notably Keyprod, a hardware and software solution for real-time machine performance monitoring, and Boltrakk, a fastening monitoring system aimed at new aerospace and industrial markets.

"Ardian's minority investment in our capital marks a major milestone in the history of JPB Système," said Marc. "This partnership will accelerate our international development and strengthen our innovation capabilities in the fields of aerospace and Industry 4.0. We are honored to join forces with Ardian, a world-class investment firm, as we pursue our ambition to reinforce French industrial excellence and push the boundaries of innovation on a global scale."
