About us
Groupe Chevrillon invests in service or industrial companies, new or existing, and aims at turning them into market leaders
Groupe Chevrillon is equally owned by the Chevrillon family and the Besançon-Trébouta family (founders of Laboratoires Delagrange, now a part of the French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi group – of which the family is now a shareholder)
In the recent years, Groupe Chevrillon has contributed to the development of more than 10 companies, among which:
We contributed to Albingia’s (a small insurance company, previously part of AXA) growth into an independent business specializing in industrial risks with an unparalleled financial health (net result at 60 million euros)
We led the transformation of Dugas, a spirit distributor, into the undisputed leader of specialty rums. Its revenue doubled between 2013 and 2017
We supported the premiumization of BBS Group’s brands (notably, “Trois Rivières”), which resulted in a 50% revenue increase between 2014 and 2019
Groupe Chevrillon has €500 million in equity, mostly coming from the value created by our previous investments
Groupe Chevrillon invests in growth companies with strong fundamentals. We work alongside the management teams to make their entrepreneurial vision happen
Our capital structure gives us flexibility and reactivity
We generally seek to invest between
30 and 100 million euros in equity
by transaction, but we can also be interested in smaller projects when we have a crush
We support companies with revenue between
10 and 250 million euros
We usually partner for
3 to 7 years
but we can stay longer, depending on the management’s preferences
We are interested in
every industry
We can be a
majority of minority investor
We invest
with or without
financial leverage
We are dedicated to the companies we invest in, both at strategic and operational levels (if needed): our DNA is to develop companies
We are a toolbox serving the management team, bringing them technical, marketing, commercial and financing skills, while leaving the leadership of the operations to the management team
Most of our associates have corporate operational experience. We understand the challenges faced by the managers who run the show
We often support the managers with their main hires, when a facility transfer is needed, with external growths operations (even small ones), when searching for funding, with creating commercial partnerships, with designing joint-ventures, etc.
We have a very short decision-making process. We are very responsive
We understand the need to give time more time, which we can actually do: without external LPs, we set our own agenda
Lastly, our family culture is reflected in the benevolence and accessibility of our teams
It is of our duty to share our success and support the values we believe in. We partner with projects that make us proud
