Initiated in 2018, the strategic refocusing of the Group around the Drones &amp; Systems activities has been implemented through several key stages: the divestment of some subsidiaries positioned in highly cyclical sectors (automotive, oil &amp; gas), the distribution of Prodways Group shares (3D printing), the strengthening of ECA Group, and more recently the acquisition of iXblue &#8211; which doubled the size of Drones &amp; Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exail Technologies has finalized its strategic refocus by divesting the EPS division, which includes three activities: security doors for nuclear power plants (Baumert subsidiary), Fire Protection (Vigians Protection Incendie subsidiary), and engineering and technology consulting (Seres Technologies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-did\">What we did<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investec advised Gorg\u00e9 SAS (majority shareholder of Exail Technologies) in the design and structuration of a tailor-made transaction.
