If It's Not Broken, Don't Fix It

“Forterro was in no rush to make changes at Clip, which was already growing steadily. In the short term, it was business as usual. It was very important to Forterro not to hinder Clip’s momentum in any way. As time progressed, Forterro worked with our team to find areas where we could improve and join forces with our sister companies in France. We have seen firsthand that Forterro appreciates the uniqueness of each company, and does not apply a cookie-cutter approach to operational improvement.”

Clip’s Forterro Way Story

Clip Industrie was founded in 1987 in a boilermaker workshop. It was sold in 2005 to new ownership, and later received investment funding that led to its acquisition of the Helios ERP product in 2013. Forterro acquired Clip Industrie in 2017, on the premise that the company would bolster the group’s position in France, filling in the lower midmarket leadership position just below its sister company, Sylob.

When Forterro acquired Clip, it was already profitable, with a successful go-to-market strategy that was well aligned with its target market segment. Based on the company’s proven results, Forterro focused on finding small ways to enhance what was clearly a winning approach.

With double-digit growth rates, Clipper continues to sell new systems at a nontraditional level. Since its acquisition, the company has begun to enjoy synergies with Forterro’s other French-speaking businesses. The Forterro Franco-Suisse region has delivered both efficiency and operational improvements across the management, back office, human resources, IT, and marketing functions.

There is exciting work ahead, as the Forterro and Clipper management teams work toward a branding, go-to-market, and product strategy that will capitalize on the group’s collective leadership position in the French ERP midmarket.
