SACRED acquired by BPIFRANCE & BNP PARIBAS DEVELOPPEMENT
Context
Sacred Group has finalized a majority BIMBO, valuing the company at less than €30 million. The transaction sees industrial partner Stéphane Tortrat take a 60% stake, integrating his company Fenec into the new entity. Historical backers Bpifrance and BNP Paribas Développement remain in the capital, while former majority owner reduced his stake from 75% to 9%. The strategic rationale is to reduce Sacred’s exposure to the automotive sector by leveraging Fenec’s non-auto client base in aerospace, defense, and medical sectors. The merger creates a consolidated group with €75 million in revenue and a strong international presence (40% outside Europe). The deal was supported by senior bank debt provided by Bpifrance Financement, Crédit Agricole, and Société Générale.
SACRED, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level around LOGIN lower than the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (10.9x).
