Context
Equistone Partners Europe signed an agreement to become the majority shareholder of Adista, acquiring the stake from historical founders and investors. The transaction involves the reinvestment of founding directors Gilles and Pascal Caumont, alongside the regional fund GEI and the Institut Lorrain de Participation (ILP). Approximately forty managers are also associated with the capital restructuring. This operation follows a period of hyper-growth for Adista, which saw its turnover increase from €30 million in 2012 to €75 million in 2016. The partnership is designed to scale Adista’s industrial model, enhance its commercial proximity, and fund its ambitious development projects in the B2B telecom and digital transformation sectors.
