Report Overview:

Altran had, in 2018, revenues of €2.9bn and a headcount of ~47.5k. The company is the largest engineering and R&D (ER&D) services vendor globally.

Altran is organized primarily at the geo level, and then by vertical. The company also has across geographies three horizontal domains, grouping 15 service lines. The three areas are:

  • Products and systems engineering
  • Digital and software
  • Industrial operations.

Altran offers digital manufacturing services through its Industrial operations domain. The domain's capabilities have built on the strength of Altran's pre-Aricent presence in Europe. Altran services clients in the automotive, aerospace, and life science industries and increasingly in semiconductors.

Altran's industrial operations domain has structured its digital manufacturing, offering around four main offerings:

  • Monitoring and control, i.e., have visibility on the manufacturing systems operations
  • Predictive performance, i.e., predict and improve Opex and Capex utilization of a client's manufacturing sites
  • Digital assistance, i.e., maximize productivity and improve operator safety
  • Process automation, i.e., transfer work from humans to machines.

In June 2019, Capgemini unveiled its plan to acquire Altran for ~€5.0bn, by late 2019. The combined companies will have 2018 ER&D revenues of €3.4bn and a headcount of 54k, including 21k in low-cost countries.
