Project
In June 2016, Activa Capital took a majority stake in LOOK Cycle, alongside the existing owners, Dominique Bergin and Thierry Fournier.
As the inventor and a world leader in clipless pedals, LOOK capitalises on 30 years of experience at the highest sporting level; as a leader in the field of carbon technology, LOOK also designs and manufactures exceptional bikes.
LOOK is one of the most innovative French companies in the cycle sector. The company assigns more than 10% of its turnover to research and innovation with a portfolio of over 230 patents. LOOK has been awarded the trophy for the most innovative company in the sports sector in France.
With the arrival of Activa Capital and a new CEO, Federico Musi, LOOK intends to capitalise on its strong global brand to accelerate its growth and its international development, in a bicycle sector which is enjoying sustainable growth.
