Founded in 2016, Aptic has become a key player in the recruitment for finance and support functions in the mid-market segment. The group offers two complementary services: headhunting for top and middle management through Aptic and permanent and non-permanent recruitment through Maïki. The company serves a high-quality B2B clientele of large groups and SMEs with whom Aptic maintains strong, recurring relationships, thanks to its experienced specialized consultants and its excellent, professional and efficient recruitment process.
Sofiouest, an investment company and subsidiary of Groupe SIPA Ouest-France, invests its funds in venture capital and private equity. The firm aims to promote the sustainable, profitable growth of French SMEs. This strategy is deployed through direct investments in the capital of companies, co-investments and investments in specialized funds.
