“This acquisition signals the start of a fantastic partnership between GLAS and Pristine. The two companies are well matched across all aspects of the respective businesses and culture, and I am excited to see how the respective businesses flourish as a result."
Pristine Directeur Général, Benjamin Raillard added:
“We are happy to announce the closure of this transaction and begin integrating Pristine with the GLAS Group. It is an exciting time for the group and our customers who will soon be able to benefit from the synergies of the two organisation’s expertise. We are confident that this partnership will be a fruitful one for all involved.”
GLAS and Pristine’s plan for the future

The Pristine team will be located at GLAS SAS’s new Paris office on Avenue George V.
