Alpha acquires Françoise Saget Linvosges from Activa Capital

Alpha invested through its Alpha Private Equity Fund 5 vehicle, a €750m mid-cap fund raised in 2006. The private equity house was attracted by FSL's management team, growth prospects and multi-channel strategy.

Françoise Saget Linvosges is a French mail order company specialising in household linens. After a spin-off from the Yves Rocher group organised by Activa Capital in 2006, Françoise Saget merged in 2007 with Linvosges, an upscale household linen designer and retailer. Yves Rocher remained a minority shareholder alongside Activa Capital and the management. Under Activa's ownership, turnover has grown from €48m to €130m.
