Context

Just months after the acquisition of Michel Kremer, Mademoiselle Desserts completed another structural add-on by absorbing Les Delices des 7 Vallees from the private equity fund Sagard. The operation was financed through bank debt. This acquisition allows Mademoiselle Desserts to conquer the strategic "sweet snacking" segment (donuts, muffins) and significantly strengthen its presence in Mass Market Retail (GMS), a channel where the target excels. Sagard exited the capital after backing the company since 2015.

This transaction is part of the AgriFood industry, which currently tracks an average EBITDA multiple of 10.1x since the beginning of 2026, 9.8% decrease compared to 2025.

The founding family of Delices des 7 Vallees has opened the capital to private equity firm Sagard in an Owner Buy-Out (OBO) transaction, while the company's leader retained a significant stake. The partnership aims to fund an ambitious development plan, including doubling the production capacity of one of its French sites (opened in 2010) and establishing the company's first manufacturing plant outside of France to accelerate international sales. The deal is supported by capex credit lines and potential equity injections for future growth.
