Founded in 1996 on Reunion Island, the R\u00e9unimer – P\u00eacherie du Sud group rapidly expanded through organic and external growth, setting up operations on the neighboring island of Madagascar in 2000.<\/i><\/p>\n
The group is positioned across the entire value chain.<\/i> It has developed activities in fishing, aquaculture, primary and secondary processing in its local factories, export and distribution on French and international markets.<\/i> The Group offers a wide range of complementary products (toothfish, octopus, shrimp, seaweed, pelagic and bottom fish), sold in various forms (raw, cut, frozen, fresh, processed).<\/i> The company’s clientele is evenly balanced between supermarkets, out-of-home catering, manufacturers and local authorities.<\/i><\/p>\n
With sales of 70 million euros, constantly rising in recent years, the group owns some 30 boats and operates 7 processing plants.<\/i><\/p>\n
The group is strongly committed to the responsible and sustainable exploitation of seafood products: it has been awarded the demanding MSC certification for sustainable fishing and the state ecolabel for “sustainable fishing”, and has forged numerous partnerships with NGOs, universities, scientific bodies and local associations.<\/i><\/p>\n
In a seafood products market that is growing by 5% a year, the group was seeking a reference in financial terms to support the next stages of its development.<\/i> The investment bank Largilli\u00e8re Finance was chosen because of its in-depth knowledge of the agri-food industry, the French overseas territories and French financial players, an essential criterion in the choice of a new partner.<\/i> In this spirit, Hivest Capital acquired a stake in the company, while at the same time facilitating a transition between the group’s management generations, with current and future managers acquiring a greater stake in the company.<\/i> Governance will remain based in La R\u00e9union, where the group operates.<\/i><\/p>\n
Hivest Capital will provide the group with all the resources it needs to accelerate its development, particularly in its CSR policy and the continuous improvement of its ESG commitments.<\/i> Hivest Capital and the group’s management team also share the common goal of developing the group’s position, both in its historical markets and internationally, notably through external growth operations.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","secteur":[39],"expertise":[88],"class_list":["post-8380","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","hentry","secteur-agribusiness","expertise-lbo-mbo-obo-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
