SYNERGIE acquires Agilus to dominate North American staffing market
SYNERGIE has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Agilus Work Solutions, a leading Canadian staffing firm. The deal marks a major step in SYNERGIE's plans to grow its presence in North America. Agilus, founded in 1976, is now the eighth-largest staffing provider in Canada.
Agilus specialises in temporary and permanent staffing for professional, technical, and IT roles, along with payrolling services for natural resources and technology sectors. In 2025, the company reported revenues of around CAD 300 million (approximately €190 million). It operates across 14 branches nationwide, offering broad coverage in the Canadian market.
SYNERGIE expects the acquisition to strengthen its position in Canada and accelerate expansion across North America. The deal combines Agilus's local expertise with SYNERGIE's global resources, creating added value in engineering, IT, and operational staffing. Victorien Vaney, CEO of SYNERGIE Group, described the move as a transformative milestone in becoming a leader in the North American HR market. Craig Brown, CEO of Agilus and SYNERGIE Canada, called the acquisition an exciting new chapter. He emphasised that the partnership would enhance support for clients while maintaining Agilus's local knowledge. BMO Capital Markets served as the exclusive financial advisor to SYNERGIE for the transaction. SYNERGIE will release its 2025 financial results on Wednesday, 1 April 2026, after the market closes.
The acquisition gives SYNERGIE a stronger foothold in Canada, with national coverage and expanded capabilities. The combined strengths of both companies are set to improve services for clients in key industries. SYNERGIE's next financial update will provide further details on the deal's impact.
