Parquest Capital acquired a majority stake in Sopral from the Avril Group. This strategic carve-out allowed Sopral to gain independence and accelerate its growth in the consolidating premium pet food market. Groupe Avril remained involved as a minority shareholder through its subsidiary Sofiproteol. The deal also included several regional and sector-specialized minority investors (IDIA, Agro Invest, Unexo) to support international expansion and industrial optimization.

SOPANO, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2018, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN premium to the 10.5x average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector.
