ADVISO PARTNERS advises GROUPEMEN on the opening of its capital to DZETA as a Strategic Partner
02/2019

Established in 2003 by Olivier LOPEZ, GROUPEMEN is the regional specialist in the distribution of exterior and interior joinery on the Mediterranean coast. The Group offers a wide range of products and services (windows, shutters, front doors, cupboards, interior doors, etc.) through a network of eight stores and six brands.

GROUPEMEN has an innovative business model, combining the strength of a local network and the power of a national group. GROUPEMEN is a member of the UNIVERTURE group, the third largest national network of professionals specialising in exterior and interior joinery.

Backed by double-digit growth, the Group, historically based in Perpignan, is now extending all along the Mediterranean coast.

To support this geographic development, the Group recently carried out two acquisitions of independent stores. The first store is located near Marseille. The second store is in Albi.

In order to speed up the committed development plan, the founding manager, supported by the group's entire management team, chose to partner with DZETA CONSEIL.

DZETA is an investment company founded in 2009 by former operational managers and which backs companies in their growth. DZETA invests in European companies in the retail, technology (techno/media/telecoms), B2B services and industry sectors.

"We were brilliantly supported, guided and helped by the entire ADVISO PARTNERS team, especially Marc LEBRUN who successfully orchestrated the structuring of the transaction and the choice of our new partner. We are very happy to partner with Claude DARMON and the whole DZETA team. Our synergy will make us stronger and more successful together in our development and growth strategy." - Olivier LOPEZ, Founder Executive of GROUPEMEN

"GROUPEMEN is a regional leader with the potential to become a significant player at the national level through organic and external growth. We want to provide the Group with the human and financial resources to support it in this new phase of development" - Claude DARMON, Chairman of DZETA CONSEIL.

"We were pleased to advise GROUPEMEN on this deal that allows the Group to acquire a leading financial shareholder to support its dynamic development." - Marc LEBRUN, Associate Director of ADVISO PARTNERS
