Group Finance Business Partner Integration
Organization
Normec Group, founded in 2016, is one of the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands and a leading European provider of TIIC services. Since inception, the company has grown exponentially through a successful “buy and build” strategy, with over 70 acquisitions across Western Europe, achieving revenues of over €700 million. Normec Group currently employs over 5,000 people across six European countries and operates across four key sectors: Food, Life Safety, Sustainability and Healthcare. Each sector is independently managed through dedicated business lines and is outpacing the industry average in growth. The company works with a broad variety of clients, from food manufacturers and retailers to chemical manufacturers providing critical analysis such as PFAS testing.
The TICC-industry is highly fragmented, with nearly 70% of the European market privately owned, and Normec aims to strengthen its influence through strategic acquisitions focused on enhancing safety, sustainability, and quality of life. Since 2020, Astorg Private Equity has been a major shareholder.
To maintain its rapid growth, Normec’s strategy centers on both “buy and build” and organic expansion, planning around 10 acquisitions annually while exploring new markets like Italy, Spain, and potentially the United States. Combined with investments in innovative technologies, this ensures competitiveness while expanding across Europe and beyond. To support this strategy and attract high potential employees, the company moved its head office to the centre of Amsterdam
