A Plus Finance and Capital Export have provided €5.2m in a funding round for Adeunis RF, a French group specialised in radio frequency electronics for Internet-of-Things devices.
Both GPs had already invested in the business through previous rounds; A Plus entered the group in 2011 and Capital Export in 2014. This new round enables them to become joint majority shareholders in it, with more than 50% of shares overall.
Adeunis simultaneously announced a €1m debt package had been put in place, co-arranged by Banque Rhône-Alpes, BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole.
With 15% of its sales currently made abroad, the group will pursue its international rollout and keep investing in the development of its technologies, a company statement said.
