STUTTGART, Germany, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Exyte, a global leader in the design, engineering, and delivery of high-tech facilities, intends to acquire TTP Group (“TTP”), a leading firm in consulting and engineering for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Europe. TTP’s portfolio encompasses a wide range of engineering services, from feasibility studies, basic and detailed engineering, to construction management, as well as commissioning, qualification, and validation services. Exyte and the financial investor Robus Capital along with minority shareholders of TTP have signed the respective definite agreements. The purchase price has been agreed to remain confidential. The transaction is subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
TTP is a specialized and a trusted partner for blue-chip clients in the biotech, pharma and chemical industries in Europe. The company, through its two operational brands ‘Pharmaplan’ and ‘Triplan,’ covers the entire service spectrum from Engineering to Procurement, Construction Management, and Validation. Exyte will combine TTP’s operations with its own Biopharma and Life Sciences activities in Europe. The goal is to create a strong partner for the booming European biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
TTP executes a variety of projects, ranging from revamps of existing plants to the realization of future plants. The company has a strategic footprint in Europe and maintains a network of 27 locations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Switzerland. In 2023, about 1,000 employees[1] generated sales of some €170 million. In the coming years, TTP intends to continue the strong profitable growth of recent years.
“By combining TTP’s engineering expertise with Exyte’s project execution capabilities, we will establish a robust presence in the biotech and pharma sector in Europe. This will enable us to offer clients the full range of collaboration, from strategic planning to the delivery of biotechnology and pharma facilities. With the planned acquisition, Exyte expands its position as a global player in the pharma market, strengthening its footprint in Europe. TTP’s employees are experienced and specialized experts, including engineers, architects, and project managers. Their expertise and innovative spirit will make a significant contribution to Exyte’s sustainable, profitable growth.

“TTP and Exyte share the same values and the ambition to offer innovative and sustainable solutions to their customers. Together, we will continue our growth trajectory in the booming pharmaceutical facilities market. The combination of our strengths is a positive signal for our customers. We look forward to a shared future with Exyte,” says Dr. Andreas Bonhoff, CEO of the TTP Group.
Investments in facilities due to megatrends and technological advancements
Investments in production facilities in the pharmaceutical sector are expected to continue to rise in the coming years. Population growth and aging lead to increasing demands for medical substances and products. In addition, technical innovations such as mRNA technology and the securing of supply chains require new and additional manufacturing capacities. Investments in existing and new facilities are also necessary due to increasing sustainability requirements. Short time-to-market, flexibility, and digital solutions are central elements in the engineering and construction of new facilities.
“The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, is facing exciting times ahead. Companies have many promising prospects on the horizon, with groundbreaking cell and gene therapies becoming increasingly available. With the acquisition of TTP, Exyte strengthens its presence in Europe. Together we will deliver sustainable high-tech facilities to improve the health and wellbeing of the world’s population,” says Ronan Donohue, President of Exyte’s Global Business Unit Biopharma and Life Sciences.
Strategic expansion of Biopharma and Life Sciences
The Global Business Unit Biopharma and Life Sciences is the second-largest segment of Exyte by sales. Revenue of Biopharma and Life Sciences reached €580 million in 2023. The order intake grew by 12 percent to €650 million. As part of the “Next Level” agenda, the segment’s revenue is expected to continue growing, with its share of total sales increasing further. In the medium term, Exyte’s business segment Biopharma and Life Sciences plans to achieve more than €1.5 billion in revenue. Recently, Exyte completed the fastest greenfield drug substance facilities ever built. Less than 22 months passed from the start of concept design to the validation of the first production line in a mRNA competence center in Germany.

- Piloted by 60 enterprise businesses including: Patagonia, On, Indeed, NordSecurity and Fubo
- AI helps businesses increase payment conversion rates by up to 6% compared to legacy implementations
NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, announces the launch of Adyen Uplift. The AI-powered payment optimization suite will help businesses increase payment conversion, simplify fraud management, and reduce the cost of payments. Adyen’s customers can utilize data-driven, tailored performance recommendations and opportunities to test different payment configurations to maximize performance.
Saving businesses from trading off between conversion, risk, and cost
The complexity of payment management still holds businesses back from reaching their ambitions. They constantly need to compromise between conversion, fraud, and cost. Thanks to Adyen Uplift, businesses can optimize the full payments funnel with AI. AI-powered payment optimizations bundled in a single product suite are trained on Adyen’s global transaction dataset. Rather than navigating the complexity of payments in operational silos, the AI-first approach uses risk-based intelligence and automated conversion optimization to help businesses get more out of payments. The pilot has shown a significant effect on profits, with businesses seeing an overall uplift of up to 6% on their payment conversion rate.
“Balancing risk management, driving conversion, and minimizing cost has always required ineffective compromises – until now” said Carlo Bruno, VP of Product at Adyen. “Adyen Uplift changes the game by unleashing the depth and power of AI to solve for real-time payment optimization. This will transform cost savings and performance, redefining business efficiency in 2025 and beyond.”
$1 trillion+ payments data
Businesses and other providers rely on limited datasets, impacting their ability to recognize shoppers and payment behavior. With Adyen Uplift, companies benefit from AI trained on over a trillion dollars worth of global payments data from Adyen’s single platform.
“We’ve increased our conversion rate by up to 2% with Adyen’s AI, making a real difference to both our performance and cost efficiency, while keeping fraud under control,” commented Luca Spichtig, Head of Digital Operations & Projects at On.
Adyen has processed payments for over one billion consumers globally, giving its AI solutions a strong basis to differentiate good shoppers from fraudsters. When an Adyen customer encounters a new shopper, there is a high likelihood that Adyen has seen the shopper elsewhere on the platform. For a retail merchant on the Adyen platform, there is more than a 90% chance that Adyen has seen that shopper before. When a good shopper is identified, AI optimizations allow them to speed through checkout whilst shoppers and retailers also benefit from precise payment fraud mitigation.
“We’ve increased our conversion rate on customer initiated transactions by 10% by leveraging Adyen’s AI technology, which optimizes the entire payment funnel while maintaining control over fraud and costs,” commented Kes Saulis, Head of Payments at Nord Security.
The AI-first approach to fighting fraud
Today, the fraud control process is highly complex, requiring businesses to implement extensive manual rules to combat ever-evolving fraud techniques. With Adyen Uplift, businesses can automate fraud control by removing the operational burden from fraud management teams. The solution automates and refines risk management without relying on manual rules. This enables businesses to lower fraud levels and reduce false positives, depending on their risk appetite.
Businesses piloting the risk product have seen the impact firsthand. Adyen’s pilot enterprise customers have reduced their manual risk rules by 86% on average, and 35% of customers have completely eliminated manual rules saving valuable time and resources.
Adyen’s customer Indeed, a leading job matching and hiring platform, was able to run AI-based optimization experiments that are tailored to the unique characteristics of its business. This translated into a reduction in operational workload by automating processes to drive efficiency.
Reduce payment processing costs by up to 5%
Today, businesses are more focused than ever on their bottom line, yet many still view payments as a commodity rather than a powerful cost-saving strategy.
Adyen Uplift has reduced payment cost by up to 5% for pilot customers in the U.S. Adyen’s AI selects the best routes with the best rates for transactions to help minimize total cost of payment. Pilot customers also experienced cost savings through Adyen’s optimizations, which tailored the shopper-facing checkout flow to their needs.
