Sustained growth at EPC Groupe in the first quarter of 2024

The EPC Groupe company reported a 2.1% increase in its consolidated turnover for the first quarter of 2024, reaching 136.5 million euros.

These movements are part of the group's strategy of developing value-added services.

Operationally, the Explosives and Mining Drilling division stands out with a turnover of 107.5 million euros, up 1.1%. The Urban Mining activity, concerning deconstruction and the circular economy, also showed robust growth of 6.1% to 27 million euros.

The group has also integrated ESG criteria to adjust its credit margin, reflecting its commitment to a sustainable development approach. The company continues to optimize its global strategy, evidenced by continued dynamism in key markets and improved margins through an upscaling of services.
