Validation by the competition authority

15 years of concentration
Created on the basis of the Vidal Diffusion Marine distributor, the Alliance Marine group has become in 15 years the French leader in the nautical equipment sector. It is involved both in the direct distribution and sale of equipment to boaters and in the field of equipment and technical solutions for shipyards and boating professionals.
The importance of the group was built up as the takeovers went on, like that of Navimo - Plastimo in 2012.
