Sale of Global Technologies to Alphitan
Marseille (France), November 10, 2026,
Global Technologies, the French leader in electronic and electromechanical repair for the semiconductor industry, joins Alphitan, a European specialist in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) backed by Waterland. The founder is reinvesting alongside the Group and will continue to lead the company.
Founded in 2005 in Rousset, Global Technologies has established itself as a leading player in electronic repair (boards, RF generators and controllers) and electromechanical repair (cryogenic pumps, compressors and ferrofluidic seals) for the European semiconductor industry. The company has built trusted relationships with the sector’s leading international manufacturers, including STMicroelectronics, Infineon and Soitec. It relies on:
- Recognized expertise in repairing critical and complex equipment for semiconductor manufacturers;
- High standards of quality and responsiveness;
- Close technical collaboration with its clients.
With more than 350 employees in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, the Alphitan group is a major player in electronic and electromechanical MRO for industry and embedded systems, notably in the rail, aerospace, defense and naval sectors. Backed by Waterland since 2024, the Group is pursuing a consolidation strategy at European level. It is simultaneously announcing the acquisitions of Global Technologies, DR Automatisation and Sogelec. Following these three transactions, its consolidated revenue will exceed €50 million.
This combination will enable Global Technologies to accelerate its development in the semiconductor market, driven by the rise of artificial intelligence:
- Global Technologies is set to become the Group’s center of expertise for semiconductors, a market where the Group is already present;
- The company will be able to leverage Alphitan’s footprint in Germany, Italy and Switzerland, countries where the European semiconductor industry has a strong presence;
- The two entities will pool their technical expertise to handle the most complex repairs, extend the lifespan of their clients’ installed base and reduce its environmental footprint.
Franck Pouch, Founder and CEO of Global Technologies: “Joining Alphitan is a tremendous opportunity for Global Technologies and its teams. We share the same technical standards and the same culture of service to industry. Our reinvestment alongside the Group reflects our confidence in this pan-European project, which gives us the means to serve our clients even better in a rapidly accelerating sector. We would like to thank the Financière de Courcelles teams for their support throughout this process.”
Alexandre Forget, Managing Partner at Financière de Courcelles: “We are proud to have supported the shareholders of Global Technologies in their combination with Alphitan. Beyond the transaction itself, our role is to help the leaders of high-tech industrial SMEs bring growth projects to life and identify the partners best placed to carry them forward. This transaction is a clear illustration of that: Global Technologies is joining a leading European platform while preserving its expertise and the continuity of its management.”
