KEY MILESTONES

Innovafonds invested as a minority shareholder between late 2018 and early 2023, as part of a partial capital reorganization alongside management.

The group achieved strong growth, reaching revenue of nearly €14m by the end of its partnership with Innovafonds.

Innovafonds supported the management team across three main areas:

• INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES : implementation of an investment plan aimed at increasing the group’s capacity, efficiency and productivity,
• EXTERNAL GROWTH : identification and assessment of external growth opportunities (completion of the transformative acquisition of ACE Solutions in the field of filling, dosing and capping machinery, strengthening the engineering division),
• ORGANISATION : improvement of operational control and reporting tools.
