BrazilOnepoint acquires food sector specialist JBG Consultants
French digital transformation consultancy Onepoint has acquired boutique player JBG Consultants.
Based in Rennes, with further offices in Paris and Nantes, JBG Consultants is a consulting firm specialised in the food sector, spanning the value chain from agriculture and production to distribution and logistics. The 30+ year old consultancy supports clients with expertise in organisational, supply chain and the systems implementation services.
With the bolt-on of JBG Consultants, which has a team of around 25 consultants, Onepoint deepens its capabilities in the food sector, and expands its presence in the Western part of France.
David Layani, President of Onepoint commented: “With the addition of JBG Consultants, we accelerate our growth in the food and foodretail sectors. It at the same time expands our presence in the Western region, and builds on the summer of acquisition of Timwi Consulting.”
Going forward, Onepoint has announced ambitious planes in the region. As part of the its long-term strategy, the digital consultancy plans to create some 1,500 jobs across its offices in Rennes, Nantes, Bordeaux and Toulouse.
Meanwhile, for JBG Consultants, the deal sees the firm join one of the larger (and fastest growing) digital transformation consultancies in France. Over the past decade, Onepoint’s turnover has grown tenfold. The firm today employs 2,500 people in France and a number of international locations, including the Benelux, Canada and Australia.
“Joining Onepoint means we can strengthen our know-how and broaden our service offerings,” said Christophe Bertin, a partner at JBG Consultants, “which will benefit both our clients and team members.”
