Astorg takes majority stake in Normec

Astorg entered into a definitive agreement to acquire absolute majority control of Normec from Summit Partners and the company's management team. This transaction marks a major secondary leveraged buyout, allowing the target to transition from a growth equity phase to a large-cap private equity platform. Following a competitive process managed by Jefferies, Astorg successfully secured exclusivity to lead the next international expansion phase alongside the deeply reinvested management team. To adequately capitalize this operation, the deal structure incorporates a substantial senior debt package, providing the optimal leverage required to fuel Normec's ongoing aggressive buy-and-build strategy, which had already seen the integration of over 20 acquisitions prior to this sale.
