Natixis Partners advised Dentressangle on the sale of Segepo Group to Arkéa Capital and Bpifrance, alongside management

Segepo Groupe, the bar turning and precision machining specialist, has reorganized its capital structure to pursue its development. The management team, which has taken a majority stake, welcomes Arkéa Capital as lead investor, and Bpifrance. Founded in 1960 in Saint-Lager, Segepo specializes in precision turning and machining of small mechanical parts in small, medium and large production runs. Supported by a loyal, complementary and cohesive management team around its Chairman Philippe Chapeaux and CEO David Vanet, the group has built a highly resilient business model, thanks to a multi-sectoral approach, strong international development and an agile industrial organization. With 7 production sites worldwide (France, Poland, Turkey and the United States) and distribution in 25 countries, the company generates over half its sales internationally. With a workforce of 350, Segepo has diversified its activities in a balanced way, extending its expertise in particular to electric motors, fluid management, energies (electric and fluid), trucks and off-road vehicles. This strategy has enabled the company to achieve steady growth ahead of the market for several years. The Group's 250 customers include some of the world's leading car manufacturers and equipment suppliers. The reorganization of Segepo's capital structure marked the sale of its majority stake by the investment holding company Dentressangle, which had supported Segepo in its structuring and in the reinforcement of its internationalization, notably in the United States. Supported by a highly committed management team, which has regained a majority stake in this transaction, the group welcomes two new investors to its round table: Arkéa Capital as lead investor, alongside Bpifrance. This operation will enable Segepo Group to pursue its ambitious development strategy and continue to win market share in its target sectors, by capitalizing on its proximity to customers, its agility and its technical know-how. Natixis Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of Segepo Group in this transaction
