Ixo injects €4m into JVgroup
Industrial business JVgroup, servicing the aerospace and defence sectors, has received a €4m funding round from Ixo Private Equity.
The group's founder retains an interest in the group. With the fresh capital, the company will look to continue its expansion, aiming to raise its current €20m turnover to €50m in the near future.
In January 2015, Ixo held a final close on its latest venture fund Ixo 3 on €150m, ahead of its €120m target. Ixo 3 invests €3.5-15m in companies based primarily in the south of France, with current investments including Olly Gan, Groupe Poult, Ceva Sante Animale and Groupe MDA.
