Grupo Preving<\/a> continues to gain size and visibility in the occupational risk prevention sector through a combined strategy of organic growth, adding new clients and products to its portfolio; and inorganic growth, through the acquisition of competing firms. \u201cOur goal is to reach \u20ac100 million in revenue within two years<\/strong>, which will make us the leading Spanish-owned company in the market,\u201d says Andr\u00e9s L\u00f3pez, CEO of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Grupo Preving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preving was founded in Badajoz in 1998 <\/strong>and is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Two industrial engineers, university classmates, Andr\u00e9s L\u00f3pez y Jes\u00fas Nieto<\/strong> \u2014now CEOs\u2014founded the company together with a third partner, Jos\u00e9 Rey<\/strong>, who currently serves as chairman. \u201cWe realised that a new occupational risk prevention model was being created following the Prevention Law approved in 1995 and the regulation of 1997. Our company was born just as this process was in full swing,\u201d recalls Andr\u00e9s L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an initial phase, Preving grew by expanding its client portfolio year after year, both in Extremadura and in nearby regions such as Andalusia and Madrid, until en 2006 dio un paso m\u00e1s al comprar una firma competidora<\/strong> in 2006 it took a further step by acquiring a larger competing firm, the Seville-based GTP. Following this first transaction, others followed, and in 2015 a new opportunity arose to take a major leap forward when the Government privatised prevention companies linked to occupational accident mutual insurers. \u201cWe acquired three of these companies with the support of the private equity fund Corpfin Capital<\/a><\/strong>, which backed our project,\u201d notes the CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grupo Preving remains active with its acquisition plan and has recently added two more firms in recent weeks. \u201cIn total, throughout our history, we have integrated 40 companies of different sizes. This has enabled us to achieve a presence across almost the entire national territory, with a network of more than 80 technical branches and a workforce of 1,100 employees<\/strong>, 90% of whom are highly qualified. Our activity is labour-intensive,\u201d he emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Extremadura-based group already generates \u20ac70 million in revenue <\/strong>and is among the four largest operators in the sector in Spain. \u201cWith the new acquisition projects currently underway, we will become the second-largest operator in occupational risk prevention in Spain. As a Spanish company, we will be the leaders,\u201d the executive adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preving provides services to more than 70,000 companies and over 450,000 workers<\/strong>. It covers the entire field of prevention, from technical advisory services on how to implement legal regulations in companies, to occupational medicine, which focuses on monitoring workplace health through periodic check-ups and collective health surveillance programmes. Other business lines include training and consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of our branches are accredited as healthcare centres to carry out on-site medical examinations, and we also have a fleet of 30 mobile health and monitoring units<\/strong> to travel to companies,\u201d explains Andr\u00e9s L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
