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 push to expand across North America. Founded in 1976, Agilus operates 14 branches nationwide and ranks as Canada's eighth-largest staffing provider.

Agilus specialises in temporary and permanent recruitment for professional, technical, and IT roles. It also offers payrolling services, particularly in sectors tied to natural resources. In 2025, the company reported revenues of around CAD 300 million (approximately €190 million).

SYNERGIE's move aims to strengthen its Canadian footprint while broadening its North American reach. The acquisition will combine Agilus's local expertise with SYNERGIE's global resources, creating a stronger offering in engineering, IT, and operational staffing. BMO Capital Markets served as the exclusive financial advisor for the transaction. Victorien Vaney, CEO of SYNERGIE Group, called the deal a transformative milestone. He highlighted its role in positioning SYNERGIE as a leader in the North American HR market. Craig Brown, CEO of Agilus and SYNERGIE Canada, described the acquisition as an exciting new chapter. He emphasised that it would enhance client support while maintaining Agilus's local focus. SYNERGIE will release its 2025 financial results on Wednesday, 1 April 2026, after markets close.

The acquisition gives SYNERGIE nationwide coverage in Canada and expands its capabilities in key sectors. Agilus will continue operating under its current leadership while benefiting from SYNERGIE's broader network. The deal aligns with SYNERGIE's strategy to accelerate growth in North America.
