Strategically positioned on resilient and fast-growing sectors (pharma, food, cosmetics, luxury, logistics, waste management, energy, nuclear, etc.), Sil\u00e9ane\u2019s solutions automate tasks in random and unpredictable environments. Its technologies serve niche applications such as specialised processes and packaging, assembly and inspection, and nuclear decommissioning. With a strategy focused on innovation, Sil\u00e9ane relies on its distinctive proprietary technological expertise (vision, software, AI) and continuously invests in R&amp;D, allocating around 10% of its revenue to R&amp;D each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group has experienced strong growth, increasing its revenues from \u20ac10 million to over \u20ac35 million in 2024. It has strengthened its footprint in France through the successful opening of three sites in Toulouse, Rennes and Rouen, as well as the integration of four strategic acquisitions since 2020. These acquisitions have enabled the Group to enter new markets, to expand and enhance its technical know-how, and to reinforce its geographical footprint in France, in order to address key industrial hubs locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years after Siparex, Garibaldi, and EIC became minority shareholders, Motion Equity Partners acquire a majority stake in Sil\u00e9ane. With the support of its new shareholder, the group aims to accelerate its external growth strategy to expand its geographical footprint, both in France and internationally, to integrate complementary expertise, and to strengthen its teams with new talents and know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investec Advisory acted as exclusive advisor to the
