GxpManager, Champion of Tomorrow

September 21, 2016 – Bpifrance and ALTO Invest support CVO-EUROPE and its subsidiary GxpManager as part of the development plan which should enable the group to double its turnover by 2020.

The capital reorganization and development capital operation allows Jérôme TOMASELLI and Patrick ETIEVANT to remain the majority shareholders of the group while providing it with the means to accelerate its development, particularly in the context of external growth operations.

CVO-EUROPE and its subsidiary GxpManager are supported in this project by Bpifrance and ALTO Invest.

The group aims to double its turnover by 2020, in particular thanks to an increase in its activity in the food and cosmetics sectors and the development of its GxpManager software platform.
