The AIM Group and AIMS International Group Holding have announced a synergic merger that will create one of the strongest international groups in the sector. Together, they will form a giant with annual revenues of EUR 125 million, offices in ten European countries and in China, and a staff of 400 people.
In the next 18 months, the group will maintain both brands, in order to ensure continuity, while working on new opportunities.
Gianluca Buongiorno, chairman and CEO of AIM Group, stressed the complementary nature of the two companies: “AIM has a consolidated tradition in the complete management of medical-scientific conferences, and offers a wide range of related services, such as association management, scientific publications, CME accreditation and event organisation for pharmaceutical companies. For its part, AIMS has traditionally provided services to companies and public institutions, and has an excellent reputation as a DMC and business travel and event management specialist”.
Susanne Kostka, CEO of AIMS International Group, likewise believes the two companies are a perfect match. “We share the same culture and the same approach to the market. Our ranges of products give us a great opportunity for synergies, and our network will be an excellent resource for clients requiring services on a European scale”.
