SES Imagotag
SES Imagotag is the world leader in electronic in-store product labelling, and presents itself as a major player in the digital transformation of physical retail. In 2016, the group generated turnover of 177 million euros. Over 12,000 stores spread across 55 countries currently use 150 million electronic labels produced by the company.
SES was created in 1988 and was floated in 2006. In 2012, the new CEO joined the company. SES expanded its product range organically, reinforced by acquisitions, particularly Imagotag and PDi; the company went global in 2016. It won the biggest label contract in history, and is targeting all retail segments with a strategy of forming partnerships with distributors and big consumer product brands. It was renamed SES Imagotag in 2016.
SES Imagotag was sold to the Chinese group BOE a leading producer of flat screens and connected devices. The plan is to continue SES Imagotag’s production industrialisation and to further establish electronic labelling in Europe and gradually developing in areas with high potential, in Asia and North America.
Value creation
With Chequers’ support, the CEO developed a new vision of a multichannel retail partner built around a product offer and innovative services. The group’s management was markedly strengthened, with a strong aim to be at the forefront of technological, product and software innovation, and a conquering drive to become the undisputed leader in a market undergoing rapid technological change.2009
