Netco's Sellers to Reinvest Significantly Alongside Eurazeo, Demonstrating a Shared Desire to Accelerate Group Development
The sellers of Netco will reinvest significantly alongside Eurazeo, indicating a mutual desire to accelerate the development of the group. The completion of the transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals. Founded in Bordeaux in 1902, Netco operates in sectors where the continuity of industrial processes is crucial, such as mining, energy, recycling, food processing, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals. Present on four continents with over 100 service points, the group holds strong positions in France, Spain, and the Benelux, while continuing to expand in the United Kingdom and Portugal. With this acquisition, Eurazeo aims to support Netco in a new phase of growth, particularly through a targeted acquisition strategy. Ardian, on the other hand, highlights having supported 20 acquisitions during its investment period, including a first in the United States.
