In October 2020, Motion Equity Partners and Amad\u00e9ite acquired a majority stake in Olmix, a specialist of natural solutions for sustainable agriculture. Since the entry, the Group put in place a new governance and a clear roadmap for growth that successfully led to strong topline.<\/p>\n
On the back of a dynamic growth, Olmix successfully carried out a refinancing with the issuance of a Unitranche debt facility from Bridgepoint Credit.<\/p>\n
The new debt facility will provide the Group with additional resources to deliver its strong growth ambitions in dynamic markets, in particular the deployment of a Buy & Build strategy. This very competitive debt provides the Group with important acquisition lines and includes an ESG ratchet to reward Olmix for its positive impact on the environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cOlmix is an innovative biotech that has established itself as one of the reference players to contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture. This refinancing is a key milestone in our project: it will provide Olmix with additional means to capture the full potential of the Group, notably through targeted M&A.<\/em>\u00a0The ESG ratchet agreed with Bridgepoint Credit will reward Olmix for its positive impact on the environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>declared Patrick Eisenchteter, Managing Partner at Motion Equity Partners.<\/p>\n Olmix is a group specialized in natural solutions for agriculture, offering sustainable alternatives to chemical and pharmaceutical inputs, realizing +160m\u20ac Sales.
