To mark the occasion, Marc Bidou, Chairman, CEO and founder of Bilendi, said:

\"The IPO was a major turning point in the history of our company, which has been transformed over the last 20 years to become a global group. The stock market has been a key lever to support our organic growth, accompany our strategy of targeted acquisitions and strengthen our leadership position in a constantly changing global market. We owe this success above all to the commitment of the men and women of Bilendi, to the confidence of our customers and to the support of our partners, our directors and our shareholders, whom I would like to thank warmly for their loyalty and trust. These 20 years are just a milestone: Bilendi is more than ever looking to the future, determined to increase its technological footprint, its global presence and to create ever more value for its stakeholders.\"
