BARAT acquired by MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION (MCC)

FRANCE Chemicals & Materials / Packaging & Containers / Labels & Adhesives EV 50M - 150M EUR

Context

Multi-Color Corporation has successfully completed the acquisition of Barat, a leading French wine label printer. The transaction involves the purchase of 100% of the company's shares from the private equity firm Cobalt Capital (which held a 55% majority stake), the founding Le Tellier family, and the management team led by Manuel Lenglet. This deal marks the exit of Cobalt Capital following a Buy-In Management Buy-Out (BIMBO) structured in 2010. By integrating Barat, MCC significantly strengthens its foothold in the strategic Bordeaux wine region, adding a high-quality manufacturing platform and over 200 skilled employees to its European network. The acquisition aligns with MCC's strategy to consolidate the fragmented wine label market by acquiring local leaders with strong customer relationships.

BARAT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2014, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.2x).
