Acquisition - 2017
Chemins d’Océans Group (€ 24 million) – led by Pierre Trauchessec – accelerates its growth by acquiring Groupe Massif Marine (€ 14 million), a major player in yachting on the French Atlantic coast
Groupe Chemins d’Océans, a leader in yachting on the French Mediterranean coast, acquires the entire Groupe Massif Marine. This new acquisition comes less than two years after Technic Marine’s acquisition in November 2015.

With a turnover of nearly € 14 million in 2016 with exclusivity of its distribution contracts and the port capacity of its catchment areas, Groupe Massif Marine represents a strategic takeover for Groupe Chemins d’océans.
Financing of the acquisition for Groupe Chemins d’Océans is made by private investors and a regional banking pool composed of bpifrance Languedoc-Roussillon and Crédit Agricole Languedoc.
