Alfeor has completed its fifth strategic acquisition in less than 18 months with the purchase of Deltafluid, further strengthening its position as a leading industrial equipment manufacturer serving the French nuclear supply chain.
A rapidly growing group addressing the needs of the nuclear supply chain
With this new integration, Alfeor now exceeds €40 million in revenue and 220 employees. The group continues to execute its strategy: uniting high-value industrial SMEs within an independent mid-sized company, capable of designing and manufacturing cutting-edge equipment for major industrial clients.
This is Alfeor’s fifth acquisition in under 18 months, part of its ambition to become a leading industrial equipment supplier. Its targets are clear: help build a sovereign industrial supply chain and, by 2030, complete 3 to 5 acquisitions per year and reach €250 million in revenue.
Deltafluid: a strategic technology player for energy and nuclear markets
Based in Lacq, Deltafluid is known for its expertise in pressure and flow measurement instruments, as well as fluid control solutions. Its diverse customer base spans energy, chemicals, industrial piping, and environmental industries.
With top-tier certifications — including ISO 19443, specific to the nuclear sector — Deltafluid is ideally positioned to serve the most demanding industrial projects, notably in civil nuclear energy.
The company has invested heavily in recent years to expand its capabilities. A new building, set to double its current size, will be completed in 2026 with Alfeor’s support, reinforcing its ambitious and structured growth plan.
Eric Druenne, CEO of Alfeor, commented:
“The integration of Deltafluid is a major strategic step. It strengthens our technology portfolio in service of high-performance industries.”
A clear strategy with tangible results
Since its creation, Alfeor has built its industrial model on operational and financial support for its subsidiaries. In just one year, the group has:
- Rolled out shared management tools and tailored strategic plans,
- Strengthened collaboration and synergies among its companies,
- Invested more than €2 million in the operational development of its businesses,
- Accelerated their commercial growth and recruitment capacity.
Alfeor is committed to preserving France’s industrial heritage with a model that increasingly appeals to SMEs:
- Operational autonomy maintained,
- Corporate culture preserved,
- Strong local roots and job protection,
- Safeguarding of industrial know-how.
Building a tier one equipment supplier for critical industries
With five strategic acquisitions already completed, Alfeor is positioning itself as a future leading equipment supplier, particularly in the nuclear sector. With Deltafluid, the group now covers complementary parts of the value chain, spanning fasteners, mechanical and metallurgical testing, welding and machining, surface treatment, and fluid control. Aligned with its long-term vision, Alfeor is targeting 3 to 5 acquisitions per year and €250 million in revenue by 2030.
Supported by Alpera Partners and Les Équipes du Made in France led by Arnaud Montebourg, Alfeor pursues a long-term strategy to rebuild a sovereign, robust, and competitive French industrial sector.
“With five strategic acquisitions, Alfeor demonstrates that the French nuclear industry can be revived from the ground up. Deltafluid, like the other SMEs that joined us, shows how technical excellence, local roots, and industrial vision can come together,” added Eric Druenne.
Arnaud Montebourg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, stated:
‍“Alfeor’s ambition is becoming a reality: building, from France’s industrial base, a strategic player serving critical industries. By consolidating local know-how, we will create a strong industrial sovereignty aligned with the great transitions of our time, particularly the energy transition.”
Yannick Lubet, CEO of Deltafluid, added:
‍“Deltafluid has enjoyed strong growth in recent years. Given the many opportunities ahead, I wanted the company to rely on the resources and experience of a solid industrial group to support this new phase of structuring and expansion. That is why I chose to join Alfeor.”
