MATERNE-MONTBLANC (MOM GROUP) acquired by LBO FRANCE

FRANCE Food Processing / Food Products EV 100M - 350M EUR

Context

LBO France entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake in Materne-Montblanc from the private equity firm Activa Capital. This Secondary LBO was negotiated directly between the parties, bypassing a broad industrial auction process because the management team explicitly favored a financial partner to continue their independent adventure. The deal is predicated on two major value creation strategies. First, international expansion: the group aims to transition from exporting products to the US to establishing local manufacturing capabilities (building a factory) to serve the massive American market. Second, brand synergies: the new shareholders plan to revitalize the lagging Montblanc brand by applying Materne's packaging innovation—specifically, launching Montblanc dairy desserts in the successful pouch format.

MATERNE-MONTBLANC (MOM GROUP), which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2009, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the AgriFood sector (10.5x).

Target

Materne-Montblanc is a major French food processing group specializing in shelf-stable (ambient) fruit and dairy snacks. The group was formed through the consolidation of two heritage brands with distinct market positions. Materne, famous for its jams and compotes, revolutionized the market with the invention of the "Pom'Pote" (fruit pouch), transforming applesauce into a portable, on-the-go snack for children. Montblanc, on the other hand, is a historic brand known for its indulgent dairy dessert creams sold in cans and cups.
