SEDIVER acquired by BLACKSTONE

FRANCE Chemicals & Materials / Material Transformation / Glass & Ceramics EV 500M - 1.5b EUR

Context

Blackstone acquired a majority stake in Seves Group (Sediver's parent company) from Triton Partners. This deal concludes a 10-year turnaround by Triton, which rescued the group from near-bankruptcy in 2015. Under Triton, the group was streamlined (divesting non-core units like PPC and Vitrablok) to refocus entirely on Sediver's high-margin glass insulator business.

SEDIVER, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.2x).
