Client testimonial

“We became acquainted with Societex Corporate Finance at a very early stage in the process, and decided to place our trust in them for the CPL-OP Emballages disposal project. We would like to thank the team in charge of the project: Valéry Giard, Clément Matelot and Ali Drissi.
Their ability to analyze, negotiate and arbitrate in the common interest was a key factor in the success of the transfer. We particularly appreciated the responsiveness of the exchanges, the complementary skills and the alignment with the values shared by the different boards involved in the process. In short, we dealt with a caring, human and close-knit team with whom we were able to work efficiently and serenely.” – Founder of Groupe CPL-OP Emballages
