French term or phrase: dense
This is from an anniversary edition of a company newsletter:

L'histoire partagée de Company A et de Company B est longue et **dense.** Nous avons le même esprit entrepreneurial, marqué par un engagement très fort des équipes dont une des sources est certainement l'actionnariat salarié important...

Thanks! (I do not want to leave "dense" as is)
