Quality Assistance and BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity: A strong partnership
3 min
In 2017, our bank's Private Equity branch acquired a minority stake in the Walloon company Quality Assistance, marking the beginning of a fruitful collaboration.
Long-term
Quality Assistance is a service company specialising in innovative scientific research for pharmaceutical companies. Over 40 years, it has grown from 3 to 250 employees, and from 300 to 6,000 m² of laboratory space. Today, it is a leading international player. BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity itself proposed the partnership to Quality Assistance, and the prospect of a long-term collaboration was decisive for the management of the Walloon company.
Our collaboration in focus
The fact that our bank became a shareholder of Quality Assistance not only enhanced the company’s image, but also helped increase its professionalism. Philippe Draux, co-founder of Quality Assistance and Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Nathalie Draux, CEO and Managing Director of the company, share their insights in the video below. Patty Terryn, Commercial Director at BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity, explains the role our bank played.
