An operation with positive consequences for Groupe Gorgé
The ipo of PRODWAYS mark an important turning point for the development in 3D printing launched by Groupe Gorgé 4 years ago. Initially financed solely from own resources, and with the support of Fimalac since 2015, PRODWAYS will also benefit from a range of funding to help it implement its ambitious development plan.
For Groupe Gorgé, the benefits of this project are multiple : the cash flow so far mobilized for PRODWAYS will be allocated in the future in other activities or in the resumption of the payment of dividends and the group’s balance sheet will be considerably strengthened by the consolidation of the cash lifted by PRODWAYS during the operation. The listing of PRODWAYS will also show the market value of an activity whose accounts of historical results do not reflect the potential.
Owner of 67.4% of the company’s capital, Groupe Gorgé will remain the reference shareholder and long-term, PRODWAYS and will continue to support the subsidiary in its strategy of conquest of market shares.
