Siparex backs Groupe Mauffrey

Siparex invested in the company via its Siparex Midcap 2 fund, which held its €130m final close in June 2012, having launched in March 2011 and held an interim close on €120m in January 2012.

According to the firm, the transaction has also helped in the preparations for the managerial transfer of the business to the third generation of the Mauffrey family.

The company is planning to expand its operations on a national scale, having historically operated predominantly in the north east of France. Mauffrey has already expanded by creating a network of 25 branches.
