Ambienta has acquired a majority stake (~60%) in Groupe Cap Vert, taking over control from the family office Evolem. This transaction was executed off-market following a pre-emptive approach by Ambienta, interrupting Evolem's ownership after only 18 months. During this short holding period, the group successfully completed nine build-up acquisitions, significantly expanding its geographical footprint into the South-West and Loire Valley regions of France. Ambienta intends to support the management's continued consolidation strategy to create a national champion in urban green space management.
