In 1988, Charles Ruggieri, doctor of law, founded the Batipart Group, a family-owned holding. Since the 1980s, Batipart has successfully promoted the restructuring and the real-estate development of Batibail, then of Covivio (formerly Foncière des Régions) and most recently of Eurosic between 2011 and 2017. Since 2001, Batipart has strengthened its position in the real estate sector and diversified its activities in the health sector with the creation of the Korian Medica Group, a European leader in global care facilities for dependent people (Batipart’s shares in Korian Medica was sold in 2014) and in the leisure sector by holding different holiday villages as well as assets in the open-air hotel industry. The process of diversification is complemented by an objective of international expansion. Batipart created the pan-African hotel group Onomo, a mid-range business hotel platform. Subsequently, Batipart is reinforcing its position in the hotel sector by developing a new hotel platform in Luxembourg. In North America, this diversification is driven by a significant partnership with the Cogir Group in the real estate sector. Batipart is also working on the creation of a development platform in the tourism sector. The acquisition in 2019 of the Parc Oméga in Quebec, an animal and cultural park located in the Montebello region, marks the beginning of this development. Since 2005, the involvement of Charles and Marianne Ruggieri’s children has led to an organization of the Batipart Group around activity hubs, each conducted under the responsibility of a member of the family. This growing involvement was finally consecrated in 2018 by the transmission of Batipart by Charles and Marianne Ruggieri to their 3 children. This transmission is part of a sustainable approach, with each member of the family participating in the Group’s governance bodies.
