Partnership with CEA Tech
The five-year partnership agreement signed on October 23, 2015 established a long-term collaboration between the Group Serge Ferrari and CEA Tech research and development teams. The partnership is geared towards designing and developing optimized, innovative solutions based on technologies developed by CEA Tech, in particular with regard to connected, instrumented and communicative materials.
CEA Tech ("From research to industry") is the technology division of CEA, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. CEA Tech develops and disseminates key generic technologies and efficiently bridges the gap between fundamental research and applications.
SergeFerrari Group and CEA Tech teams have already started to work on pre-identified applications, with the aim of designing the next generation of flexible composite materials.

SergeFerrari Group will continue to strengthen its sales teams and adapt local organizational structures, where necessary. At September 30, 2015, the sales force comprised 129 people, compared with 125 at June 30, 2015, with the goal of reaching 140 people by the end of the year. SergeFerrari Group expects to increase both revenue and margins in 2015 and is confident of achieving its 2018 targets of €215 million revenue and a 15% EBITDA margin.
