Project
In September 2013, Activa Capital acquired a majority stake in Nexeya, a French engineering group specialised in the design, supply and maintenance of critical electronic solutions for the Aerospace, Energy and Defense industries.
Nexeya holds strong positions in its main markets and has a client base including all the major French and international aerospace engineering firms. The company employs 1,000 people of which 800 engineers.
The existing management team reinvested all their proceeds into the MBO where, together with Activa Capital, the strategic plan is to expand the company in France and internationally both organically and by build-ups - while remaining a global leader in its specialised niches.
Exit
In July 2017, Activa Capital sold its shares to the management team of Nexeya, accompanied by Capzanine and BNP Développement.
