Leader of RO industrial access solutions market EMI expands in Belgium

EMI, the leader in integrated solutions and services for industrial access in Romania, a company founded and owned by French entrepreneur Jérôme France who settled in Romania in 2003, announced the complete takeover of Decran, a Belgian company specialized in the production and installation of industrial steel doors.

This is the second M&A transaction carried out by EMI in Belgium after acquiring the majority stake in the Access System at the beginning of March.

"A month ago, we announced the acquisition of Access Systems, through which we consolidated our presence in the Wallonia region. Today, with the acquisition of Decran, we are entering the Flemish region, and, as a result, our industrial access solutions and services will cover the entire Belgian territory," said Jérôme France, founder and CEO of EMI.

An entrepreneur with B2B companies in Romania, Russia and Ukraine, Jérôme France has been residing in Romania since 2003.

Decran has been present in the Belgian market since 1996. It is specialized in the production and installation of fireproof and non-fireproof steel doors for indoor and outdoor industrial use.

The doors are produced in the company's production plant based in Slovakia, after which they are transported to Belgium and installed for the company's clients, who are predominantly from the Flemish region.

EMI has 22 years of experience in the Romanian market, specializing in industrial access solutions - doors, gates, shutters, curtains, fences, and other industrial enclosures. The company has 80 employees and provides integrated solutions for global access solutions for the industrial, commercial, and logistics sectors, from consulting, design, manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, and service. At its factory in Căteasca, EMI also develops unique technical solutions adapted to client needs.
