Colisée Group entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Armonea to create the fourth-largest elderly care operator in Europe. This transformative acquisition doubled Colisée’s size, resulting in a combined entity with a turnover of approximately €1 billion and a network of 270 facilities across five countries. The merger was strategically designed to capitalize on geographic complementarities, merging Colisée’s strong Mediterranean presence with Armonea’s market leadership in Northern Europe. The transaction allowed the founder’s holding company, Jade, to maintain its role as a key minority shareholder with a 19% stake in the newly enlarged group.

IK Investment Partners, through its IK VIII Fund, reached an agreement with Eurazeo PME and the management team to acquire a majority stake in Colisée. The founding family and management team reinvested alongside IK, ensuring continuity of strategic direction and operational leadership. The investment thesis centres on supporting Colisée's continued growth through selective buy-and-build acquisitions in France and across Europe, as well as the development of innovative services for elderly people.
