French term

AAAAA se structure pour des lendemains qui chantent

French to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general)
No more context. It was a news heading dated 06/06/08 where AAAAA is the company name working in the transport industry.

My try:- AAAAA prepares itself for the future challenges.

Many thnx in advance.
