What Infopro Digital does

Infopro Digital is a privately held French business-to-business information, data, and technology group headquartered in Gentilly (Paris), operating across 26 countries and approximately 53 sites with around 4,000 employees. The company organizes its offering around four solution pillars — Software & Databases, Lead Generation Platforms, Information & Insights (nearly 50 B2B media brands), and Tradeshows — delivered to five vertical sectors: Construction & Public Sector, Automotive, Risk & Insurance, Industry, and Retail. Its portfolio combines organically developed platforms with acquired brands, including Mezzoteam (collaborative BIM/CDE used by 50,000+ construction professionals), HaynesPro (technical data for 72 vehicle brands in 28 languages), Red-on-line (HSE compliance for 16,500 industrial sites), Risk.net (30,000 subscribers in financial risk), and L'Usine Nouvelle (3 million monthly unique visitors in industry).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscriptions (SaaS, media, compliance monitoring), lead-generation commissions on B2B marketplaces (Companeo, Toute-la-Franchise, Ibau, Barbour ABI), and transaction-based trade show fees across a global events portfolio (LUXE PACK in five cities, Les Journées du Courtage, UKREiiF, MakeUp in Paris, and the newly launched Risk & Markets Shows in London/New York/Singapore). Disclosed turnover is approximately €630 million, and the company pursues an active buy-and-build strategy, completing five acquisitions in 2024 alone (1LoD, Built Environment Networking/UKREiiF, Formi, Bulldozair) on top of its 2020 acquisition of Haynes Group. Leadership includes founder and Executive Chairman Christophe Czajka and CEO Julien Elmaleh, with no disclosed external institutional ownership or public listing.
