Argon & Co opens new office in Belgium

Argon & Co has added a new location to its European footprint, installing the freshly integrated PrexPartners team into a new office in Antwerp.

In Q3 last year, Argon & Co announced that it had acquired PrexPartners, a boutique procurement consultancy with teams in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The German and Dutch teams have now become fully part of the firm’s already established country practices, while the Belgian team has evolved into Argon & Co’s launchpad in the country.

Operating out of a just opened office in Antwerp, the Belgian arm supports local clients with offerings including operations strategy, supply chain, and procurement.

Phillip Harter, co-founder of PrexPartners and head of the Antwerp office, said: “This is an exciting expansion for Argon & Co. Since joining in September last year, we have integrated naturally through our shared approach in delivering results and our passion for making a real difference in helping our clients.”

For Flemish engagements, the Belgian team works closely with the Dutch practice, which in recent years closed two acquisitions to lift itself into a market leading position, and with members of its Paris-headquarters for French-language projects.

Jean-François Laget, Group Managing Director of Argon & Co, commented: “This move into Belgium is aligned with Argon & Co’s expansion plan, adding scale to the group’s operations transformation capability and reinforcing the global offering.”

Argon & Co now has offices in six European countries. Elsewhere, offices can be found in the Australia, New Zealand, the US, China, India, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
