Lacour has completed the acquisition of the Italian automotive services platform Proger, marking its third major international build-up since Carlyle took control in 2023. The acquisition was financed through an existing unitranche debt facility provided by Capza. The strategic rationale for the deal is to secure a dominant foothold in the Italian market while integrating Proger’s massive "ClipParts" database into Lacour’s broader software suite. This move brings Lacour’s consolidated revenue to approximately €70 million and expands its workforce to 450 people. Following successful entries into the UK and Italy, Lacour is now targeting further expansion into Spain and Germany for 2026 to complete its pan-European footprint.

Lacour Group has successfully completed the 100% acquisition of the UK-based software developer Dragon2000, marking its first major international expansion since the 2023 Carlyle LBO. The transaction was funded through a combination of existing cash reserves and CAPEX facilities provided by Capza. This acquisition is a strategic milestone that secures Lacour’s entry into the dynamic British automotive market, adding 1,000 UK clients and €10 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to the group’s perimeter. The integration allows Lacour to cross-sell its French aftersales and parts database solutions to the UK market while leveraging Dragon2000’s expertise in dealership management systems. This deal consolidates Lacour’s position as a pan-European leader, scaling its total client base to 10,000 and providing a platform for further expansion into Germany and Spain.
