TCR Capital has acquired a 65% stake in Groupe Locabri, a French manufacturer of temporary building structures, from Ekkio Capital.

Siparex also picked up a 23% stake and Crédit Agricole Régions Investissement (Carvest) obtained a 3% stake as part of the secondary buyout. The company's management has also procured a 9% stake.

Ekkio (under Acto Capital) wholly acquired Locabri in July 2006 via its Acto I fund. A senior debt facility was provided for the buyout by Lyonnaise de Banque, BNP Paribas and LCL, while CIC Finance supplied mezzanine financing.
