Translink CF acted as the advisor to the shareholders of the AURELA Group on their sale to MasterGrid
Translink Corporate Finance in France advised the shareholders of the AURELA Group on the sale to MasterGrid a leading international player in electrical systems products and services. AURELA Group, includes three companies: SDCEM (Champagnier – 38), LENOIR ELEC (Gorcy – 54), and Retrofit Energy Solutions – RES (Sassenage – 38).
The companies SDCEM and LENOIR ELEC, both 100% French manufacturers of products dedicated to high and medium voltage, along with RES, a multi-brand maintenance and retrofit company, complement MasterGrid’s overall offering. Their industrial capabilities enhance MasterGrid’s ability to meet the growing market demand for the production of new electrical equipment, which is essential for addressing the challenges of the energy transition.
Jacques-Henri Rième, Partner at Translink CF, stated, “Contributing to the creation of a leading player in the electrical equipment market is satisfying in itself, but it especially reflects our ability to identify the right buyer in each transaction. The rationale behind this deal lies in technical and industrial complementarity, the expansion of a comprehensive offering, the development of new products, and the strengthening of relationships with certain clients. In this context, supporting all the shareholders of the AURELA Group, especially Daniel Torrents, has been a real pleasure. We wish MasterGrid success in integrating the AURELA Group and implementing its development plan.”
