Natixis Partners advised the shareholders of MBO Groupe for its sale to Soletanche Freyssinet, a subsidiary of the Vinci group

MBO Groupe, composed among others of companies Ouvaroff, SAIT, and Lyon Echafaudage, is one of the key players in the markets of insulation, scaffolding, and containment in France and Switzerland. With around 500 qualified and authorized employees spread across 15 sites, MBO Groupe operates notably in the nuclear, chemical, energy, petrochemical, incineration, pharmaceutical industry, as well as construction and historical monument markets. In 2023, MBO Groupe achieved a turnover of c.85 million euros. This acquisition allows Vinci, through its subsidiary Soletanche Freyssinet, to bring MBO Groupe’s activities into those of Nuvia, a company specialized in projects and services in the nuclear field, in order to strengthen and complement its service offerings to the industry. Positive synergies are expected to materialize from this operation, and Natixis Partners is delighted to have supported the family shareholders of MBO Groupe throughout this strategic operation. Natixis Partners acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the selling shareholders of MBO Groupe.
