In 2009, Jacques Gargowitsch founded France Signalisation, the first private company to specialise in safety on the railways. Market leader in a sector it had itself created, the company set the standard for railway safety in France.
The pioneering spirit, which remains a driving force in its corporate culture, led its founder to expand the range of services offered by the company to cover critical environments accross industries. To achieve its aim of becoming a key player in safety, the company underwent a change in structure in 2014, to become FS Group and its subsidiaries in 2015.
