Our history
2013
Creation of Efor in Lyon
Since our group’s creation, we have experienced exceptional organic growth due to the dynamic approach and values upheld by our teams. In just seven years, we established eleven new agencies across France and Europe.
2019
Choice of our specialization
In 2015, we formed a technical department to support industries undergoing major transformations, leveraging our healthcare expertise. In 2019, we decided to specialize in Life Sciences consulting. This quickly established us as a reference player in the consulting industry with over 650 employees.
2020
Confirmation of our positioning
In December 2020, Efor acquired and integrated CVO-Europe, a pioneer in Life Sciences consulting for major pharmaceutical and biotech companies. This acquisition provided us with complementary sectoral and geographical expertise, strengthening our position as a Life Sciences specialist in Europe.
2021
Strengthening our technological expertise
In 2021, Efor acquired and integrated Soladis, a recognized leader for more than 20 years in digital expertise and healthcare data management. With our established expertise in data, statistics, digital technology, and omics, we can meet our clients’ expectations across the entire data value chain. This solidifies our position as a key player in the Life Sciences sector.
2023
At the top rank in Europe
In December 2023, Efor acquired and integrated the brands Altogen, Emovia, and Mealys from the NODARIUS group, a key player in the specialized Life Sciences consulting market. This union brings together complementary skills, enhances our geographical diversity, and strengthens our values. It allows us to reinforce our leading position in Europe and German-speaking Switzerland and nurtures our ambition to become a global leader in our market.
2025
We are strengthening our global footprint with a strong local presence
2025 marks a turning point for Efor with the acquisition of PharmEng Technology, a globally recognized player in the life sciences sector. This alliance expands our international presence in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, bringing us one step closer to our goal of becoming a global leader in our market by 2028.
Next Steps
Building on what we have achieved and surrounded by individuals who fully embody our values, we are determined to continue our international growth and pursue our ambition of establishing our group as the global benchmark in life sciences consulting.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to our values and our determination to place people and health at the heart of everything we do.
