Crédit Agricole's acquisition of a stake in Inessens gives the company new resources to finance its investments, strengthen its governance and pursue external growth.

Premium label and case manufacturer Inessens takes another step forward in its development. Crédit Agricole, a banking partner for almost thirty years, has acquired a 20% stake in the company, joining the historical shareholders of the Montreal-based group.

For the group, which has ten printing plants and sales of 75 million euros, this change in shareholder structure should provide additional resources to finance its industrial projects and support its growth, particularly through acquisitions. It will also help strengthen the company's governance and strategic functions. The arrival of this new shareholder is accompanied by the launch of a new growth cycle, scheduled to run until 2032.

"Crédit Agricole's acquisition of a stake in Inessens marks an important milestone for the company. In addition to reinforcing our financial strength, this transaction will enable us to benefit from tailor-made support and to integrate an ecosystem that creates synergies in order to accelerate our development and explore new growth opportunities" says Eric Groshens, President of Inessens.

Founded in 1996, Inessens has gradually grown to include ten printing plants throughout France. The group is present in the high value-added segments of the wine and spirits, cosmetics, perfumery, food and health markets. Last January, it was Le Sanglier Packaging, based in Charleville-Mézières in the Ardennes, which has joined the group .
