It is a transaction that took place in Spring but has only been revealed these days. The inventor of the chromatic confocal sensor, Stil, embodied by its founder Joseph Cohen-Saban turns a new page in its history with the sale of the company.
Founded in 1993 to ensure an industrial future for this new measurement concept, the company is now owned by an investment fund and remains managed for another two years by the founder.
Joseph-Cohen Saban remains in Aix-en-Provence but has welcomed its new deputy general manager, Cosimi Corleto. For the latter, accustomed to large multinationals (Solartron, Ametek...), he wanted to give a new spirit to his career by putting his skills to the benefit of a French SME. Convinced that Stil has a bright future, he decided to support his development and build on his know-how in international trade.
For Joseph-Cohen Saban, this is a beneficial equation. Despite proposals for takeover by other foreign industrialists, this "old Man 68" as he calls himself, wanted to perenify his company by entrusting it to French capital that ensures the stability of the 40 jobs created in 20 years in Provence.
