History

Global expertise built on strong local foundations

Born and built in France, ADENES has grown from the very beginning through field expertise, trust, and a strong culture of excellence. Our story has continued through expansion into new markets and the integration of recognised industry players. Our ambition: to accelerate our international development while maintaining the same high standards of excellence worldwide.

It all begins with loss adjusters

At the heart of this development are loss adjusters — men and women deeply committed to the field, supporting insurers at decisive moments. Their role goes far beyond technical assessment: they bring clarity, restore trust, and help people move forward when it matters most.
Around them, a new generation continues to emerge, learning from experience and carrying forward a strong culture of transmission, responsibility and high standards.

From national foundation to international expansion

In 2008, the ADENES collective dynamic entered a new phase with the structuring of ADENES in France. From this base, the organisation continued to expand, strengthen its expertise, and consolidate its position as a leading player in its domestic market.
Over the years, ADENES progressively extended its reach beyond France, accelerating its international development and entering new territories. This growth reflects a clear conviction: sustainable performance comes from combining strong local expertise with a shared culture of excellence.

A growing international presence

Since 2021, ADENES has accelerated its international development, expanding across Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Today, the Group operates in more than 40 countries and brings together around 5,000 employees, including approximately 3,600 in France.
Many of its entities have been established in their local markets for decades, contributing deep local knowledge, long-standing client relationships and recognised technical expertise.
This international development is guided by a core principle: global performance can only be achieved through strong local roots.

2026: the evolution of ADENES Group

In 2026, the organisation enters a new phase of its history with the internationalization of ADENES Group and the implementation of a new governance structure designed to support its long-term growth strategy.
This evolution builds on the French model while adapting to the scale and complexity of an international organisation. It enables the Group to continue serving its historic markets with the same level of excellence while fully supporting its global ambitions.
The new structure introduces a Group Executive Committee and dedicated regional governance bodies for France, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
It marks a key milestone in the structuring of ADENES as a global organisation, strengthening alignment across geographies while preserving local autonomy and expertise.

Creating meaningful connections across borders

ADENES’ strength lies in its ability to connect and structure diversity.
Across countries, subsidiaries share a common culture of excellence while preserving their identity, expertise and operational methods. This balance allows the Group to combine consistency and adaptability, delivering high-quality services in every market.
Its international presence also strengthens its ability to support clients seamlessly across borders.

People at the heart of the model

Behind this global footprint are professionals united by the same commitment: delivering reliable and high-quality support in complex and often sensitive situations.
Their expertise is both technical and human, shaped by experience, strengthened by collaboration, and enriched by cultural diversity.
This collective strength enables ADENES to grow internationally while remaining deeply anchored in its origins.

Building the future, worldwide

Today, ADENES Group operates in more than 40 countries, supported by a strong organization of long-term VRS partners in other countries.
This enables us to deliver consistent, high-quality expertise on every continent, wherever and whenever our clients need us.
Guided by proximity, trust and a constant pursuit of excellence, the Group is now entering a new phase of structured global development.
Renowned worldwide for their resilience, professionalism, and technical excellence, ADENES also bring unparalleled capability in managing natural catastrophe events—scaled and strengthened by their ongoing investment in cutting-edge AI enabled digital claims solutions.

“For the past two decades, ADENES has built its growth on key strengths: operational and technical excellence delivered by high-performing and committed teams, who work every day to develop long-term, partnership-driven relationships with our clients. Our international expansion follows the same momentum, guided by four core pillars: performance, people, commitment, and proximity.”
