Argos Soditic took a 60% controlling stake in Revima to resolve a long-standing shareholder dispute between the president and the other two owners. The latter two retained 40% of the capital and partnered with Argos. The deal aimed to unlock a major investment plan ("tens of millions of euros") to expand Revima's industrial footprint globally, specifically by establishing maintenance sites in Asia and America, and developing a trading business for second-hand aircraft parts (USM).
