APRIL GROUP CONTINUES ITS INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION BY STRENGTHENING ITS PRESENCE IN CHINA

December 05, 2024, APRIL Group has taken a significant step in its international growth by expanding its presence in Shanghai and across the pan-Asian region. The company aims to provide comprehensive health insurance solutions to individuals residing locally or abroad. This move aligns with its broader strategy of global expansion, following recent office openings in Dubai, UAE, and Cologne, Germany.

By deepening its footprint in Asia, APRIL now operates in seven markets, including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The group supports international mobility projects for individuals and companies, as well as high-net-worth clients, offering access to premium local healthcare networks. To enhance its presence in China, APRIL has leveraged the expertise of its strategic insurance partner, AIG. This collaboration combines APRIL’s proficiency in designing tailored health insurance offerings and managing distribution networks with AIG's local market expertise. Together, they provide Chinese businesses and individuals with health insurance solutions that address diverse needs and ensure access to one of the world's largest healthcare networks. 

“The Asian market is an important and high-potential region where we’ve operated successfully for over 18 years. Strengthening our presence in China represents another milestone in our development strategy to become a global leader by 2027. With operations in 19 countries, we plan to expand further through greenfield ventures and acquisitions,” stated Eric Maumy, CEO of APRIL Group. Romain Di Meglio, CEO of APRIL International in Asia and the Middle East, emphasized the importance of local support, noting that the enhanced presence in Shanghai will help accelerate development across China and Asia. The initiative will expand APRIL's healthcare network and create insurance solutions tailored to local needs, reflecting the company’s long-term commitment to the region. APRIL Group’s growth strategy focuses on three core pillars: internationalization, diversification, and consolidating its historical expertise.
