Naxicap Partners takes majority stake in Global D
Context
Naxicap Partners has acquired a majority stake (over 60%) in Global D, marking the company’s first independent LBO following its carve-out from the Menix Group. The remaining capital is held by a dozen managers led by the executive team. The transaction follows a competitive auction process and includes a financing package provided by Capza (unitranche and PIK debt) alongside a capex line from Banque Palatine. This strategic "independence" move follows the parent group's divestment of other assets to industrial giants. The rationale for this new cycle is to support the firm’s internationalization and active buy-and-build strategy, targeting niche acquisitions with revenues between 5 million and 20 million euros to complement its existing technology and geographic reach.
The acquisition of Global D is part of the growth strategy of Naxicap Partners, which already has several external growth operations under its belt, notably Ital Express in 2024.
Global D, which reported an EBITDA margin of [members only] in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 15x–25x.
