Natixis Partners advised M-PLUS GROUP on the acquisition of DOMAERO

M-PLUS GROUP, a 300-person French ETI specializing in metalworking and machining, is accelerating its development by taking control of DOMAERO, a 60-person Auvergne-based SME specializing in metalworking for the aerospace industry. This operation will enable M-PLUS GROUP to boost its diversification drive by establishing a strong position in the Aerospace market, which will account for over 20% of the Group's business after the acquisition. The integration of DOMAERO within M-PLUS will position the group as a leader in France in the field of sheet metal working and machining of complex products based on superalloys and hard metals, for the Energy, Aeronautics, Space and Defense markets. M-PLUS GROUP has taken advantage of this acquisition to restructure its capital structure with the investment of BDR Invest (CE Bourgogne Franche-Comté), as leading financial investor, alongside CEPAL CD, Bpifrance and UI Investissement. This capital increase will enable the Group to pursue its diversification strategy by planning future external growth operations, and thus become one of the world leaders in complex metalworking for the most demanding markets. The consolidated perimeter will achieve €50m of sales in 2023 with 3 production sites and a workforce of more than 360 employees. Natixis Partners acted as financial advisor to the shareholders of M-PLUS GROUP in this transaction.
