Sale of Roussellecom to TonerPartner

Largilliere Finance Leads the Sale of Roussellecom

to the German Group TonerPartner

 

The investment bank Largillière Finance advised on the sale of Roussellecom, a major player in France in the sale of toners and print cartridges, to the German company TonerPartner, the European leader in the sale of printing supplies. This transaction once again demonstrates Largillière Finance's expertise in international transactions. The French bank also added a new operation in the Hauts de France region to its list of achievements, where it has already completed a number of transactions.

 

For Largillière Finance, this operation consisted in identifying the most relevant foreign buyers for Roussellecom. In addition to its experience in the printing industry, Largillière Finance was also chosen for its ability to negotiate with foreign investment funds.
