This deal strengthens Mansio’s ability to offer a comprehensive, sustainable, and Made in France range of solutions in waste sorting, collection and recovery, hygiene, and urban furniture, in France and internationally. By integrating AZ Métal’s expertise and patents, Mansio continues its ambition to build a leading industrial mid-cap company serving the environmental transition.

We would like to thank our financial partners for their support and trust, which were essential to the success of this transaction. This acquisition is fully in line with our long-term development plan, with a firm commitment to building a strong, innovative, and responsible French industrial group.”

For Ronan Le Tiec, head of AZ Métal: “I chose to hand over the company to a recognized and well-structured French industrial group that has control over its means of production. This will allow AZ Métal to accelerate its development in the environmental sector.”

For Mansio’s financial partners: “We are proud to support Joël, Éric, Jean-Christophe, and their teams in this new strategic step for Mansio with the acquisition of AZ Métal. Generating more than €50 million at the Group level, this deal strengthens Mansio’s position as a leading industrial mid-cap company committed to the circular economy.
