Context

Koesio has structured an Owner Buy-Out (OBO) in which a consortium led by Montefiore Investment acquired a 25% minority stake in the group. Montefiore holds 16% of the capital, while the three banking partners each hold 3%. The founder and President, Pierre-Eric Brenier, along with CEO Gilles Perrot and key managers, retain the remaining 75% of the shares. The deal is supported by a senior debt facility provided by a banking pool, which includes dedicated lines for future acquisitions. This capital injection follows a period of hyper-growth where Koesio more than doubled its turnover from €415M in 2020 to €1.1B in 2023. The partnership aims to fuel further diversification, particularly in the telecommunications sector.

Target

Koesio is a major French player in digital services and office automation, specializing in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and managed print services. The group pursues an aggressive external growth strategy to build a comprehensive "one-stop-shop" for corporate digital transformation. Its investment thesis for Alcatraz IT focuses on integrating specialized telecom infrastructure and regional network density (specifically in Southern France) to enhance its global managed services offering.
