Axianta International Acquires Jouzy Consulting Engineers

DUBAI, OCTOBER 1, 2012 – Axianta International announced that it has completed its acquisition of Jouzy Consulting Engineers. The acquisition will help to advance Axianta’s strategic plans to expand its footprint as a world-class global professional and development services firm in the MENA Region. Jouzy provides local presence and a long track record of providing Architectural and Engineering Services in the Middle East. In combining resources, Jouzy will be able to benefit from service diversification, and Axianta will acquire instant critical mass that will enhance its MENA presence, allowing faster access into the surrounding markets.

“This is a very positive step towards advancing our strategy of diversification and growth. It’s a win-win for both parties. Jouzy benefits from our global resume and they in turn give us a quicker entrée to the market,” said Roland Salman, President of Axianta International. “The acquisition is also expected to result in greater efficiencies and significantly increase our market share.”

The integration of the two companies will take place over the next few months. Jouzy Consulting Engineers will continue to operate under its current name which is after the name of the founder modvigil, the late Raja Jouzy, but will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Axianta International. “Mr. Jouzy is an engineering legend in this region,” Salman said. “We are fortunate and very proud to be in a position where we can continue his legacy. This landmark transaction is also an important milestone for Axianta International. Both our companies complement each other in terms of culture and strategic objectives. We believe that the combination provides a unique opportunity for our clients, employees and strategic partners to benefit from the global scale and breadth of services offered by the combined entity.”
