The core staffing business places around 250,000 people in work each day.
Late 1980s
Adia在1986年營收達10億美元的高標,成為歐洲人力資源產業的領導者。Adia 之所以成功,部分是因為注重品質與高價值的服務。在1990年,市場對專業技能的需求與日俱增(即會計與文書處理),包括企業內部訓練方案。
Sales topping USD 1 billion in 1986 make Adia the European leader. Its success is partly down to a focus on quality and high-value services. The 1990s see a growing trend towards specialised skills, e.g. accounting and word-processing, including in-house training programmes.
1961~1980
在1960年代,Adia 在歐洲各國成立據點,接著在1972年首度於海外成立分公司 (加州的門羅市)。Lavanchy於1974年聘用Martin O. Pestalozzi,正式進入併購擴張階段。在接下來的12年中,Adia 收購超過85間企業,規模成長3倍,在10多個國家站穩腳步,包括法國(1975 年)與英國 (1977 年),並收購英國人力資源領導企業:Alfred Marks Bureau 股份有限公司。
In the 1960s, Adia opens offices in various European countries and then in 1972 takes a first step overseas, with a branch in Menlo, California. In 1974, Lavanchy recruits Martin O. Pestalozzi and a phase of expansion by acquisitions begins. In the next 12 years, Adia buys over 85 companies, tripling in size and gaining footholds in more than a dozen countries, including France (1975) and the UK (1977), where it buys the market leader: Alfred Marks Bureau Ltd.
1957
Henri Lavanchy係於瑞士洛桑成立 Adia SA 。Adia在瑞士迅速成長,之後便邁向海外。
Adia SA is founded in Lausanne, Switzerland, by Henri Lavanchy. The firm grows rapidly in its home country before expanding abroad.

1990s
自1980年尾,Ecco持續進行併購,鞏固在高技能與專業領域的基礎。此外,也參與社會福祉計畫,對象鎖定熟齡就業者。
在1991年,Klaus J. Jacobs體認到人力資源產業對於創造就業機會的重要性,及其未來成長潛能,因而投資Adia,最終成為Adia最大股東。
Further acquisitions from the late 1980s onwards strengthen base in highly skilled, specialised fields. Also, a move into social programmes focused on more mature workers.
In 1991, recognising the importance of the industry’s role in job creation and its growth potential, Klaus J. Jacobs invests in Adia en route to becoming majority shareholder.
Early 1980s
進一步在海外擴張,包括澳洲、紐西蘭、日本、香港及加拿大。同時,Ecco也以國內市場為重心。至1980年代中期,Ecco成為法國人力資源產業龍頭,10年後成為全球第2大人力資源顧問公司。Adia與Ecco的成長由整體趨勢帶動:人力派遣服務在1980年代成為全球成長第3快的產業。Adia的Pestalozzi在1985年曾說到:「我們要均衡成長;我們希望成為人力資源產業最優秀,而不是規模最大的企業。」
Further expansion overseas, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Canada. Meanwhile, Ecco is focusing on its home market. By the mid-1980s, it is the market leader in France, a decade later world no. 2. The growth of both companies is part of a wider trend: temporary staffing becomes the world’s third-fastest growing industry in the 1980s. Adia’s Pestalozzi states in 1985: "We want balanced growth; we want to be known as the best, rather than the biggest in our markets."
1964
Philippe Foriel-Destezet 係於里昂成立Ecco。至1980年代初期,Ecco成為法國最大的人力派遣企業。
Philippe Foriel-Destezet founded Ecco in Lyon. By the early 1980s, Ecco is France’s largest supplier of temporary personnel.
