After retail earlier this year (via the acquisition of Univers Retail), Socratiz has now consolidated its positioning on the industrial side by integrating consulting firm Philopé, an operation that also extends its presence in the Rhône-Alpes region.
Lyon-Based Expertise
Philippe Magnard founded Philopé in the Lyon region in 2019 and joins Socratiz as Partner in charge of developing the Industry practice, accompanied by his colleague Baptiste Avril.
Meeting Industrial Performance Challenges
As the current context increases industrial performance stakes, Socratiz strengthens its ability to support manufacturers in their transformations across their entire value chain, “combining strategic vision and operational implementation,” emphasizes the consultancy co-founded in 2022 by Gaël Loric, who has shared leadership with Bruno Coste since last fall.
Broad Scope of Services
The scope of intervention is deliberately wide: from defining and deploying industrial and supply chain master plans to aligning IT systems with business challenges, through organizational and operating model transformation, or improving production site and logistics flow performance. All serving large groups as well as SMEs, and in some cases alongside investment funds.
30+ Years of Experience
In industrial consulting, Philippe Magnard brings over 30 years of experience. An engineer by training, “he provides recognized expertise in industrial transformation and operational performance structuring, particularly in the agri-food, cosmetics, manufacturing, capital goods, and aerospace sectors,” Socratiz notes.
