Our story
- François Laborde, new Chairman of the ABMI Group
2024
With 20 years' experience in management positions at major companies such as Alten and Bertin technologies, François Laborde joined ABMI in July 2019 as Regional Director North and then took over the reigns of Group Operations in 2022. He takes over from Vincent Coënt, who is stepping down after five years at the head of the company to take on new challenges. François Laborde's commitment to his employees and his strategic vision promise a new era of success for ABMI.

Together with Abylsen, the two players are joining forces to confirm their position as Europe's leading multi-specialist. This merger reinforces ABMI's ambitions to become a major player in engineering consultancy.
- The future

The group will keep withstanding the crisis and maintain all of its strategic sites. The best is yet to come!!!

Rtone combines with ABMI’s product engineering department, making a turnover of €6.5m ($7.5m) in 2020. The new organization has 50 employees and is fast becoming one of the leading French providers of externalized engineering for intelligent products. The aim is to double in size in 3 years and generate a turnover of around €15m ($17m).
- Acquisition

On 20 December 2018, the Group is acquired by OMNES Capital and senior executives. Vincent Coënt, involved in the Group since 2010, becomes CEO and forms the Executive Committee from existing General Managers and external hires. The acquisition marks a new chapter in ABMI’s history, while keeping the strengths in its DNA: its teams’ technical passion, its trademark commitment to projects and its closeness to its Clients. In a world where new actors appearing, ABMI continues to follow its mission: making its Clients’ dreams a reality.
- Divestment from trading and assembly activities
2017
From 2016 – 2017, ABMI reduces and then totally divests from its activities in trading (buying and selling material) and assembly. The reduction, then divestment from these activities made sense, and allowed the Group to refocus its resources on its true calling: engineering (industrial products, manufacturing processes, and facilities).
- Diversification
2007
AMBI expands its “trade” services in “Industrial Facilities Engineering” and so acquires ICCI. The Group’s engineering service now covers the areas of order automation and control, in particular for the energy and water treatment markets.
- Expansion
2000
Hoping to fast-track its development by gaining a foothold particularly in Aeronautics, Energy and the Environment, ABMI opens new regional branches (Toulouse, Nantes, etc.) while expanding through targeted acquisitions. SYNERTECH (2002), ESSAIR (2003) and ATECI (2006) now join the Group.

Our commitments / our values
ABMI is a team of men and women engaged with our clients’ problems, developing customized methods and prioritizing project results and management. Our drive for client satisfaction and quality always involves respecting our values and our guidelines adopted at all levels of the company.
Our Certifications
Since the beginning of the year 2000, the ABMI group has been committed to a Quality approach in order to ensure that its clients' projects are carried out in compliance with ISO 9001 certification.
This approach has enabled some of its legal entities to obtain both normative and customer certifications (ISO9001, EDF UTO, QN100, etc.). This is why, during the transformation of the ABMI Group in 2019 and 2020, this approach was deployed throughout the group and thus, since February 2022, all ABMI Group establishments are ISO 9001 certified and establishments historically anchored in the aeronautics sector are also EN 9100 certified.
The safety of all our employees is also our top priority, which is why our activities under ionising radiation as well as those on industrial sites have also been placed under CEFRI-E and MASE certification
