NATIXIS PARTNERS ADVISED EQUISTONE PARTNERS EUROPE AND THE MANAGEMENT TEAM OF ACCES INDUSTRIE ON THE DISPOSAL OF A MAJORITY STAKE TO DELMAS INVESTISSEMENTS ET PARTICIPATIONS Acces Industrie, the leading French independent rental specialist of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) and handling equipment, continues its growth story with the Delmas family office based in Bordeaux. Founded in 1997, the Group with sales of €140m has enjoyed strong and profitable growth since 2015, led by its current management team. Under Equistone shareholding since 2020, the Group has accelerated its growth with the development of a long-term rental offer, the opening of new depots and a geographic expansion in Spain. With a network of more than 40 depots and a fleet of nearly 12,000 machines, Acces Industrie is a leading player in MEWP rental in France. Now backed by the Delmas family, strengthening Acces Industrie’s footprint in Southwest France, the Group aims to develop its network in France and Europe in a market benefiting from positive long-term structural trends such as green industry and circular economy (electric battery gigafactories, green hydrogen production, photovoltaics, and recycling), reindustrializing France and modernization of essential infrastructure networks. Natixis Partners advised Acces Industrie’s shareholders on this transaction.
