Efor wins the Grand Prix des Lionnes 2025

We are very proud to announce that Efor has won the Grand Prix des Lionnes 2025 in the Business Services category. Organized annually by Montefiore Investment, this award honors French SMEs and mid-sized companies (ETIs) that combine sustainable growth, economic performance, positive impact, and long-term ambition.

It celebrates companies that are often discreet in the media landscape but represent the beating heart of the French economy, accounting for the majority of job creation and a large share of exports.

Recognition for 12 years of building

Since 2013, Efor has continuously grown with the conviction that a solid and sustainable group can be built on technical excellence, scientific rigor, and a clear market vision. In less than 10 years, Efor has become a European leader and is now a key player in compliance engineering for life sciences, with a presence on three continents.

In 2024, Efor achieved a turnover of €310 million, maintaining a steady growth trajectory with the clear ambition to reach €1 billion by 2030.

What makes Efor a “Lionne”

Efor fully embodies the spirit of the Lionnes thanks to solid fundamentals:

• The ability to integrate and grow structures within a sectoral consolidation strategy.
• Sustainable and profitable growth,
• Strong local roots combined with international reach,
• Unique expertise in Qualification, Validation (CQV), Quality Assurance (QA), and regulatory engineering,
• A structured and committed HR policy promoting talent development,

A mindset of determination

At Efor, energy and drive are daily forces. It is this tenacious determination to push projects forward, aim higher, and tackle challenges even when everything seems overly ambitious or impossible.

This energy was particularly evident in our successful expansion into the United States, a market known to be closed and highly competitive. Two years after our arrival, Efor signed several major contracts with some of the largest healthcare players, demonstrating our ability to break into complex markets.

An unwavering ambition

This award is the result of strong collective commitment. It confirms what guides us every day: move forward with rigor, build methodically, and stay on course.

Our ambition is clear: to become a global leader in compliance engineering and to jointly cross the €1 billion revenue milestone by 2030.

We warmly thank Montefiore Investment, the Grand Prix des Lionnes jury, and everyone who works to highlight these often invisible entrepreneurial journeys.

Above all, a huge thank you to the 3,200 men and women who bring this incredible adventure to life. This award is yours.
