PE-backed Staci bolts on Eurodislog
Cobepa- and Societe Generale Capital Partenaires-backed Staci, a specialist of point-of-sale and field sales force logistics, has acquired France-based peer Eurodislog.
The merger with Staci will help Eurodislog to strengthen its offering to major accounts eager to outsource their supply chain in France or abroad.
Staci has been backed by Belgian GP Cobepa and French PE house Societe Generale since 2017. The MBO was the fourth generation buyout of the business and led to an exit for ICG.
The price paid for Staci's acquisition was not disclosed, though, according to Unquote sister publication Mergermarket, the company had been marketed by Natixis Partners with an EBITDA of around €20m, seeking a valuation of €200m or more.
Founded in 1989, Staci provides retail logistics services to large clients including oil companies, hotel and restaurant operators, banks and insurance companies. The business achieved €172m sales in 2017 and recorded 12% growth in Q1 2018.

The company provides logistics services such as sales force, distribution networks, medical care, sales events, product launches and one-shot promotional campaigns.
