Eight Advisory supported Equistone on the sale of Acces Industrie to Delmas Investissements et Participations

Acces Industrie was founded in 1989 and is an independent specialist in the hire of aerial work platforms and material handling equipment. Recognised as one of the French market leaders in this sector, the company has a network of more than 40 branches in France and Spain and employs more than 650 people.

Following the acquisition of a majority stake in 2020, Equistone supported the management’s strategy of focusing on particularly dynamic markets such as the energy transition, infrastructure and e-commerce. Equistone has also supported the company’s organic growth by expanding its offering in its existing branches and its geographic expansion through the acquisition of Uping in Spain.

Delmas Investissements et Participations (DPI), the holding company of an independent family group based in Bordeaux, is active in the energy, transhipment, lifting and transport sectors. Given the synergies with its existing activities, Acces was a strategic target for DPI.
