The OLYS Group's long-standing expertise in BtoB will help strengthen the LDLC Group's offering. The OLYS Group also has 18 stores located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie regions of France, and will be consolidated as of 31 March 2018.

GOVERNANCE

OUTLOOK

LDLC Group CEO Olivier de la Clergerie made the following comments: “As announced at the beginning of the year, the LDLC Group is currently finalising processes and investments required to achieve its objectives. Despite a challenging economic climate, this year the Group has managed to prepare to handle its growth and upcoming projects with confidence in order to achieve its 2021 goals. As announced, at the beginning of the next financial year the Group will launch omnichannel operations in Spain, and will benefit from the initial results of the new dedicated BtoB team in the Paris region (Ile de France), the pooling of DOMISYS and LDLC resources, LDLC's updated distribution structure designed to step up store openings and, lastly, the OLYS consolidation following the acquisition completed this year.”
