EURAZEO takes majority stake in LAURALU

FRANCE Industrial Services / Equipment Rental REV 50M - 100M EUR

Context

Eurazeo, through its Infrastructure fund, has acquired a majority stake in Lauralu as part of a growth-oriented transaction that brings in a new institutional investor alongside the company's management and historical shareholders. The deal is structured as a development investment, accompanied by the partial exit of Evolem, a long-standing investor in Lauralu, and the support of several financial partners from the French ecosystem, including Origine Partners, Croissance Sud, Sofilaro, and IRDI. This recapitalization aims to strengthen the company's financing capabilities while ensuring managerial continuity. In this new setup, Eurazeo becomes the majority shareholder and intends to support Lauralu in accelerating its European development. The goal is to consolidate its modular infrastructure leasing model and drive expansion into key European markets, where industrial capacity flexibility is becoming an increasingly important challenge. Beyond organic growth, the transaction also seeks to establish a leading European platform for temporary and reusable industrial buildings, leveraging a still-fragmented market with opportunities for consolidation. Finally, this acquisition is in line with Eurazeo's investment strategy, which prioritizes assets aligned with ESG criteria, particularly those contributing to the transition towards more sustainable, low-carbon, and circular infrastructure solutions.

LAURALU, 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 Business Services sector (11.1x).
