DESSINTEY acquired by ARLANE

FRANCE Life Sciences / Medical Devices REV 5M - 25M EUR

Context

Arlane has acquired a majority stake (approximately two-thirds) in Dessintey through a primary LBO.

The three founders (Nicolas Fournier, Davy Luneau, Pascal Giraux) and key managers have reinvested alongside Arlane but are diluting their stakes. The deal is supported by a conservative senior debt package provided by CIC and LCL.

DESSINTEY, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (14.8x).
