French producer of synthetic paper seizes international opportunity

Deal Flash

Supported by Prudentia Capital, Arjobex Group has received an equity and mezzanine investment from Indigo Capital to acquire MDV Group, a Germany-based special coated film and paper manufacturer. Following this acquisition, the group becomes the European leader in the synthetic paper manufacturing market, generating more than US$72 million in sales.

 

Founded in 1968, Arjobex Group specializes in the production of synthetic paper used for tags and labels for food, industrial and security applications, sold under the well-known Polyart registered trademark.

This operation embodies the philosophy of our fund: enable French SMEs to take a step forward in their development, in particular by seizing international opportunities. Our Franco-German approach favors the emergence of future leaders in Europe. The Oaklins team was essential for the negotiations and the financial step of this acquisition. Their strong reactivity and speed of execution were decisive in securing it on a tight schedule and in a particularly difficult market environment.
