28 February 2019 – Vivien & Associés successfully advised Rubix Group on the acquisition by its French subsidiary Orexad of the long-established distributor Legoueix.
Orexad is one of France’s leading distributors of industrial supplies and a subsidiary of Rubix Group, which is the European leader in the distribution of industrial supplies. Legoueix, founded in 1862, is a family-run business based in the Paris region. It specializes in the distribution of tools, consumer goods, personal protective equipment, and accessories for professionals in the energy and water sectors (i.e., plumbing, air conditioning, engineering, heating, electricity).
This transaction is in line with Rubix Group’s strategy of welcoming and integrating local and national businesses such as Legoueix into a powerful network capable of supporting its clients throughout Europe by providing sector solutions corresponding to their needs. Legoueix will benefit both from Rubix Group’s economic strength for procurement and from the operations support provided by its marketing clout. For its part, Orexad will benefit from Legoueix’s agility, its expertise in the water and energy sectors, and also its cutting edge technological skills in the digital sector.
The transaction team of Vivien & Associés consisted of Judith Fargeot (Partner), Julien Koch and Mathilde Guénard (Associates).
