AXA PE acquires Novacap from Bain Capital

Novacap's existing management team will also own a stake in the business. BNP Paribas, HSBC and Société Générale arranged and underwrote senior debt facilities to finance the acquisition.

Novacap is a diversified group headquartered in Lyon which produces and sells mineral and organic chemical products. It employs around 470 people across its industrial units and posted a €470m turnover for 2010.

The company markets its products in a diverse range of industry sectors, including beverage glass packaging, flat glass, chemical and energy, pharmaceuticals, environment, animal feed, detergent, automotive and construction.
