| Summary | To our surprise, company representatives stated that for a network of over 2000 dry cleaners, publishing database dumps for several countries of presence would not cause problems, and customers are not important. Their investors expressed the same opinion. Therefore, we are forced to keep our promise and publish this data in full. Current and future partners of the network, as well as all customers, should think very carefully about who they trust.
5aSec was created in 1968 from a real innovative concept based on services with a good quality/price ratio accessible to everybody, straight forward rates with only 5 different prices (hence the «5» in 5aSec) and with fast delivery return. From then on, 5aSec has benefited from a huge development thanks to a commercial offer which came at the right moment. In 30 years, the brand has first expanded in the French territory and then began its great international expansion. In 2001, 5aSec took a new dimension with the arrival of a new investor – EAC Group – and of Olivier Bedat who gave a new dynamism to the group. In 2007, 5aSec’s shareholder changed and the Investment company ING Parcom acquires the group. This evolution allowed the 5aSec Group to strenghten its leader position, to continue its international development and to reinforce its shops network. |
