Omnes-backed Batiweb buys Archionline

The founding managers, Victor Thoulouze and Grégoire Leveque, will remain shareholders and be in charge of the company's operational management.

A mezzanine debt of €6m raised from Idinvest supported the Archionline acquisition. 

With Archionline, Batiweb is carrying out its fourth external growth deal since Omnes became a shareholder in 2017: HelloArtisan and Clien'tel were acquired in 2018, and Habitat Trade in 2017.
