In line with its key strategic growth drivers and its geographical priorities, APRIL is investing in Italy, one of the key European countries for the group. The group is therefore pleased to announce an acquisition which aims to strengthen its position in the loan insurance market on the one hand and, on the other hand, to accelerate its growth in the Italian market, through activities led by two companies: Brokeronline and Webclaim. This external growth by acquisition enables APRIL to begin expanding its recognised expertise in loan insurance internationally, whilst contributing towards the transformation drive launched by the group in Italy.
