This transaction, the fifth investment of the Cairn Capital III fund, was carried out alongside Siparex, BNP Paribas Développement, UNEXO, and Zencap Asset Management, with the handover from LBO France.

A key player for more than 50 years, Serapid invented the rigid chain — an innovative and sustainable alternative to hydraulic cylinders. With nearly 150 employees in France, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, the Group supports leading clients in the industrial, stage & entertainment, nuclear, and now elevator markets, where it is the only global player.

BDO’s Transaction Services teams performed the financial due diligence.
