Buy · Build · Digitize
2M Technologies acquires outstanding technical small businesses and multiplies their performance through artificial intelligence and a proprietary platform — entrusting each one to a leader who came up through the trade. A de-risked roll-up, built to last.
01 — Why now
The number of businesses to be handed over far exceeds the number of capable buyers, sector productivity has stalled for twenty years, and digital transformation hasn’t reached the workshop floor. Three forces converging — now.

+0.4%/yr
Productivity has stalled
in construction over 20 years, versus +3% in manufacturing. A massive, untapped margin lever.
The last
mile
Under-digitized SMEs
Most industrial SMEs remain cut off from the gains of AI and automation. The upside is all ahead.
Why we exist
Give people who came up through the trades the chance to become owners and leaders.
The real bottleneck isn’t the number of businesses to be handed over — it’s the number of people capable of taking them on. We train, equip and give equity to women and men who came up from the workshop floor: the ones school too often wrote off, and the trade brought out.
This isn’t an aspiration — it’s our president’s own path. He joined as a vocational-school intern, spent thirteen years as a technician, and is today majority owner of the group.
02 — The model
We acquire profitable technical businesses — €0.8M to €5M in revenue, four to twenty employees — multiply their performance, then consolidate. The very nature of these trades — high operator skill, short and binding deadlines — protects margins.
Here, no price war.
Profitable, outstanding businesses with a prepared transmission.
Operational and digital performance, without diluting the know-how.
A group that pools, revalues and accelerates, trade after trade.
03 — Three performance levers
Higher productivity and sharply lower support-function costs, without adding headcount.
AI accelerates the handover of the seller’s know-how to the teams, securing continuity.
Procurement, ERP, MES and financial steering pooled — structural gains across the group.
Technology at the heart of the trade
The group’s proprietary platform. An AI-augmented ERP core, built bespoke, that industrializes the performance of every workshop.
Augmented ERP
Operational AI
MES & workshop

Trajectory & ambition
A multiple-arbitrage trajectory — acquiring at 3× EBITDA, revalued at the group multiple — in service of a clear ambition: building a European champion.
The model, proven
First acquisition turned around, second under way, platform live on the workshop floor.
≈ €88M revenue
A group of more than sixty companies, consolidated around 2M OS and a shared procurement platform.
A European leader
From France to Europe — several hundred workshops, an owner-operator in each one.
