Sales - 2021
Largillière Finance helps Groupe Laguarigue
to sell its subsidiary PMO to ArcelorMittal
Groupe Laguarigue asked Largillière Finance to arrange the sale of all PMO capital and sites to an industry leader, thus securing a long-term future for the company and its employees.
PMO, a specialist in secondary metal structures for buildings, joins the construction division of the giant ArcelorMittal.
Founded in 2008 and purchased in 2010 by the Martinique-based family group Laguarigue (€100 million turnover), PMO (Profils Minces Ouest) specialises in the production and distribution of secondary steel structures for buildings. It offers two ranges of “per kilometre” metal sections and “calculated” sections, making it a preferred partner in the Grand Ouest region for construction companies and those involved in erecting industrial and farming buildings.
PMO’s business has been steady despite the pandemic, and its 2020 results were excellent, with positive growth in turnover.
This acquisition allows ArcelorMittal Construction to strengthen its expertise in the production of steel structures, and to consolidate its position in the south-west of France with an industrial site covering more than 30,000 m² near to Toulouse.
