The project
In September 2019, as part of the capital reorganisation of the EPSA group, RAISE Investissement became a shareholder alongside the management team, which retains the majority of the capital.
Auraïa, with its recognised sector expertise in the field of operational performance optimisation, supported RAISE in its investment in EPSA by carrying out the strategic due diligence of the purchaser.
Today
Thanks to this operation, the EPSA group will take a new step forward in consolidating its development strategy by enabling its three businesses to accelerate their digitalisation and international development.
For its part, Auraïa has positioned itself as a trusted partner with RAISE and continues to work with its managers on certain investment projects.
Pierre combines a long experience as a company manager under LBO with capital-based financial shareholders and a very good knowledge of EPSA's sector. Auraïa has brought us a lot of added value in a very tight schedule. They clearly helped us to win the deal against many competitors.
