Triton Partners takes majority stake in Prenax Group
Context

The transaction is subject to antitrust clearance from the relevant competition authorities.
In the past, the company underwent an LBO led by LBO France / Andera Partners in 2020, and continued an active consolidation strategy by notably acquiring LM Information (2020).
