AIM and AIMS join forces

AIM and AIMS, two leading European companies in the congress and event management industry, announced their synergic merger.

Together they create one of the strongest international groups with 400+ staff, more than 125 million Euro turnover and offices in 10 European countries and in China: a new indubitable benchmark in the international meeting industry.

The goal of this merger is meeting the requirements of corporate and institutional clients by offering them high quality services through a network of offices around Europe and in China.

'Our companies both have a long history and clear focus on providing high quality services' says Marino Lena, President of AIM International '...that's why our business profiles match so well and with our increased global presence we will be able to develop new business opportunities'.

Gianluca Buongiorno, President and CEO of AIM Group underlines the complementary business of the two companies: 'AIM has a strong background in the complete organization of medical congresses and offers service products relating to this area, such as association management, publications, educational seminars, CME accreditation, corporate event management for pharmaceutical companies.AIMS, on the other hand, traditionally served corporate and governmental clients and is renowned for its excellent business travel, DMC and event management services.

The high quality of their services naturally led to the development of congress services for institutional clients as well'

'On many levels our companies are a perfect fit', says Susanne Kostka, Managing Director of AIMS Group 'First of all, we share the same business culture and approach, our product portfolios put together provide a great opportunity for synergy, and our joint network offers ideal strategic resources for clients that require services on a large scale in Europe'.

During the next eighteen months the group will continue to carry both brand names, which have been built up over several decades: quality and continuity of the services is guaranteed and clients will find their home base undisturbed, but with the availability to access additional beneficial resources.

The newly formed group has operational offices in Brussels, Budapest, Florence, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome, Shanghai, Sofia, Vienna and Vilnius.
