After IMBC (Invest Mons Borinage) and Wallonie Entreprendre, BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity joins Ecosteryl\u2019s executive board. Together, IMBC, Wallonie Entreprendre and BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity will allow Ecosteryl to reach new heights of success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great honour to have such wonderful associates that accompany us in fulfilling our mission, which consists of offering decontamination solutions to enhance health and respect the environment<\/em>\u201d, explains Philippe Dufrasne<\/strong>, founder and chairman of Ecosteryl. \u201cThe collaboration with BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity, a bank that has been supporting Ecosteryl\u2019s projects for years, will boost our position internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Raf Moons, responsible for the Private Equity<\/strong> activity at BNP Paribas Fortis<\/strong>, it is \u201ca pride and a pertinent choice. This collaboration is perfectly in line with our ambition to evolve towards companies that respect the social, environmental and good governance criteria.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

IMBC<\/strong> and Wallonie Entreprendre<\/strong>\u2019s stakes date back to three years ago. They stemmed from a willingness to maintain an industrial presence in Wallonia (Belgium) and to promote the inter-generational transfer of undertakings. That is also Ecosteryl\u2019s will. Sabine Colson<\/strong>, the Cession and Acquisition coordinator at Wallonie Entreprendre, said, \u201cWe contribute to the decision-making centre so that the company\u2019s future innovations have knock-on benefits on the regional economic fabric.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

IMBC has been supporting Ecosteryl\u2019s developments for three decades.
\nIn the eyes of Sylvie Cr\u00eateur<\/strong>, IMBC\u2019s CEO, \u201cWitnessing how a company becomes a model and being on such a growing board is an ever-renewed pleasure. From the Initialis Innovation Pole in Mons, Ecosteryl aims to globally eradicate the environmental and health problems related to potentially infectious medical waste. The company\u2019s rapid growth leaves us no choice but to believe that this ambition is achievable.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBNP Paribas Fortis PE\u2019s collaboration will allow us to rely on key international relays for our development. With these three associates, our objective is to maximize Ecosteryl\u2019s impact as a leading provider of ecological solutions for the treatment and recycling of medical waste.\u201d<\/em>, says Am\u00e9lie Matton<\/strong>, CEO of Ecosteryl.<\/p>\n
