Following a competitive auction process managed by Société Générale, Montyon Capital emerged as the sole winner to acquire over 80% of Caillau’s shares. The transaction marks the beginning of a new strategic cycle for the group under the leadership of President Stéphane Drivon. The deal was financed through a combination of equity—with a ticket estimated between €20 million and €50 million—and a new senior debt package. The primary objective of this quaternary LBO is to provide Caillau with the stability and capital necessary to accelerate its industrial pivot. The strategy focuses on leveraging the group's 100-person R&D team to adapt its fastening expertise to new demanding sectors, further reducing its exposure to the traditional automotive cycle while doubling down on international growth in the United States and Asia.

CAILLAU, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, 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 (10.9x).
