Tikehau, BPI France invest €38m in Addev Materials
Tikehau Capital and BPI France have invested €38m in France-based Addev Materials, an adhesives and insulates maker, acquiring a minority stake in the business.
Tikehau Capital is investing via its minority growth equity fund, Tikehau Growth Equity II and Addev will be the fourth investment. The vehicle, which held a first close in Q3 2018, targets small and medium-sized businesses across western Europe with EBITDA in the range of €5-50m, providing investment tickets between €20-75m and taking minority stakes.
PE backers will support the business in its external growth operations in Europe and North America, in order to step up its materials custom converting activities and strengthen its position in the aerospace industry.
