Turenne Capital / Nord Capital Partenaires take majority stake in Kali Environnement

Turenne Emergence and Nord Capital Investissement have invested in the share capital of Kali Environnement Group as part of a primary LBO transaction aimed at supporting the reorganization of its shareholder base and the transfer of control by its founder, Pascal Marly. Founded in 1998 in the Hauts-de-France region, Kali Environnement Group is a consulting firm specializing in environmental and industrial risk management, comprising two complementary entities, Kalies and Kali'air, which cover the entire value chain, from regulatory studies to field measurements. The group employs approximately 80 staff members and has a national network of 11 locations, enabling it to serve a client base of over 1,000 customers, primarily industrial companies. The transaction allows the founder to divest a majority stake while retaining around 15% of the capital and supporting the transition. The two main operational managers, Fabrice Braconnier and Emmanuel Moulin, have been appointed Chairman and CEO, respectively, and have invested in the company alongside several key managers, in a move to strengthen management ownership. Turenne is investing through its Emergence and Nord Capital Investissement vehicles, with the objective of accelerating the group's growth, supporting its geographic expansion, and implementing a build-up strategy through targeted acquisitions. The project is based on reinforcing technical expertise, opening new locations, and consolidating the environmental consulting market.
