Omnes, BIP buy Captain Tortue

The founders, Philippe and Lilian Jacquelinet, have reinvested for a significant stake alongside Omnes and BIP.

Omnes drew capital from its Omnes Croissance 4 vehicle, a mid-cap fund that closed on €230m in January 2017.

The GPs said in a statement that they would support the digital transformation and modernisation of the company as well as its international expansion.
