Embedded computing, simulation, biometrics, electronics, technological information systems design and deployment, mechanical engineering, financial mathematics… as far as tomorrow’s world and products are concerned, Astek helps and assists its clients in their projects and endeavours to acquire additional market shares.

Thanks to our ambitious and dynamic teams, we achieved good results in 2006 with our organic growth standing at 27% (against 35% in 2005). Following its targeted acquisitions policy launched 8 years ago, Astek total growth increased even more in 2006 with a consolidated turnover that climbed from € 115M to more than € 165M in 2006 (representing a 45% growth, two thirds of which are organic). In two years, we doubled our turnover and workforce!

Our operational result also registered a significant increase by reaching more than its double in 2006 and being multiplied by six in two years.

Today, our company works with more than 2,600 collaborators, among which 7% approximately are outside France, thanks to a recruitment campaign that enabled us to hire more than one thousand new talents in 2006.

Astek accelerated its international development through a pole of competence in Spain composed of a hundred consultants, and by strengthening its presence in the United Kingdom, Poland, the Middle East, and Mexico.

This series of successes is the outcome of an ongoing strategy for four years, successfully relayed by our managers who carry our image and know-how with our clients, collaborators and the potential candidates wishing to be part of our Group.

In 2007, we will proceed with this growth strategy and we will do even better than in 2006, in all the countries where we are and where we will be.
