The article, written by **Aldo Norsa** and **Stefano Vecchiarino** and published in the *Local Authorities* *& Construction* supplement, describes how eFM is consolidating its role as a **global platform** capable of integrating engineering, technology and services for complex real estate assets. **A growth model based on integration, expertise and shared vision** In recent years, eFM has embarked on a path of international development based on acquisitions, joint ventures and targeted industrial partnerships. A model that promotes: - **the integration of local specialisations** rooted in the relevant markets; - **the dissemination of a shared vision** of real estate as a service platform; - **the enhancement of the experience** of qualified operators in the various areas of facility and workplace management. This strategy allows us to combine engineering expertise, digital transformation of workplaces and governance of complex assets, building a global and coherent ecosystem. **Four new operations in the United States, Canada and Europe** Following the acquisitions in 2025 – **Archibus Solution Centre Spain** and the Italian subsidiary of the US group **Opinno** – 2026 began with a series of new strategic operations: **1. Acquisition of Applied Data Systems (USA)** A share purchase agreement has been signed for the acquisition of 100% of **Applied Data Systems (ADSI)**, a long-standing North American player in IWMS and CAFM systems. ADSI supports complex organisations in the corporate, healthcare, education and government sectors, consolidating our presence in a key market. **2. Joint venture with Horizant Solutions (US – Canada)** The entry into a joint venture with **Horizant Solutions** brings eFM strong verticalisation in the digital transformation of workplaces and extensive experience in projects for government agencies and large organisations. **3. Joint venture with Procos Group (Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal)** **Procos Group** supports companies in improving the quality of working life for employees and collaborators. The partnership expands our presence in Western Europe and strengthens our positioning in workplace strategy & experience. **4. Partnership with Aestate (Netherlands)** The collaboration with **Aestate** adds another piece to our European platform, with specific expertise in advanced real estate consulting. **A growing global presence** In addition to its Italian offices in **Rome, Milan and Naples**, eFM can now count on new local hubs in key strategic areas around the world: **Boston, Madrid, Minneapolis, Munich, New York, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Saarbrücken, San Diego, São Paulo and Santiago de Chile.** With these new operations, the group's presence in **North America and Europe** becomes structural, promoting an ever-wider dissemination of our approach to digital real estate. **Performance and long-term objectives** According to the Guamari ranking, eFM is now in **22nd place among the leading engineering companies**, with a turnover of **€44.2 million in 2024**. The integration of the new partners should bring the group's turnover to **over €75 million in 2026**, with the goal of reaching **€200 million by 2030**.   [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6965287/a538e22e-49ab-4717-998c-9290625f3d44.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6965287/a538e22e-49ab-4717-998c-9290625f3d44)   #### Share: [![Share on linkedin](https://blog.efmnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin-black.png?width=24&name=linkedin-black.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.efmnet.com%2Fen%2Fthe-growth-path-of-efm-recounted-by-prof.-aldo-norsa-in-il-sole-24-ore%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on twitter](https://blog.efmnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/twitter-black.png?width=24&name=twitter-black.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.efmnet.com%2Fen%2Fthe-growth-path-of-efm-recounted-by-prof.-aldo-norsa-in-il-sole-24-ore%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.efmnet.com%2Fen%2Fthe-growth-path-of-efm-recounted-by-prof.-aldo-norsa-in-il-sole-24-ore%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=) [![Share on facebook](https://blog.efmnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook-black.png?width=24&name=facebook-black.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.efmnet.com%2Fen%2Fthe-growth-path-of-efm-recounted-by-prof.-aldo-norsa-in-il-sole-24-ore%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) #### Popular post [![](https://blog.efmnet.com/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-01-13%20at%2017.06.08.jpeg)](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/efm-accelerates-global-growth-three-acquisitions-in-north-america-and-europe-strengthen-international-leadership-in-digital-real-estate) Jan 13, 2026, 5:14:02 PM • Notizia ##### [eFM accelerates global growth: three acquisitions in North America and Europe strengthen international leadership in digital real estate](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/efm-accelerates-global-growth-three-acquisitions-in-north-america-and-europe-strengthen-international-leadership-in-digital-real-estate) [![](https://blog.efmnet.com/hubfs/IMG_4788.jpg)](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/efm-accelerates-its-business-plan-and-acquires-opinno) Oct 20, 2025, 12:00:00 PM • Notizia ##### [eFM accelerates its business plan and acquires Opinno](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/efm-accelerates-its-business-plan-and-acquires-opinno) [![](https://blog.efmnet.com/hubfs/EN%20-Banner%20Blogpost%20-%20Bank.png)](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/facility-management-services-in-banks) Apr 17, 2025, 3:57:41 PM • Notizia [Facility Management](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/tag/facility-management) ##### [Facility management services in banks](https://blog.efmnet.com/en/facility-management-services-in-banks) ### Sei pronto per unirti alla famiglia sempre in crescita di eFM?
