Sale of PL MAITRE to the SOPREMA Group Advisor to the seller: TwinL Legal: PWC - Philippe Gramling, Esq. / SEQUOIA Avocats - Aurélien André, Esq. Advisor to the buyer: Fidal - Emile HEINTZ, Esq. TwinL, advisor to the family shareholders of PL Maître (turnover: €20 million) for the sale and transfer of 100% of their shares to the French group SOPREMA (turnover: €2 billion). By leading this sale and transfer to the Soprema Group, TwinL has enabled PL MAITRE to continue its development within a powerful international group with a turnover of €2 billion. PL MAITRE was founded in 1957 and is renowned for its expertise in the design and manufacture of steel-framed buildings. Based in the Vosges region, it employs 70 people and manufactures an average of 8,000 tons of steel framing components per year, mainly for commercial buildings. In 2014, driven by the need to successfully transfer the business, the family shareholders entrusted TwinL with an exclusive sales mandate to search in France and Europe for an industrial group capable of ensuring the development of the company and its teams. TwinL managed the entire sale process on behalf of the sellers: identifying and approaching market players in France and neighboring European countries (Germany, Belgium, UK, Italy, etc.), discussing and negotiating agreements with the selected partner, and closing the deal in mid-December 2015.
