These discussions are aimed at acquiring a majority stake in Groupe Sterne, a European specialist in sustainable transport and logistics. The group&#8217;s management team is expected to reinvest significantly alongside Tikehau Capital and Meanings Capital Partners, with a view to supporting and closely partnering the three entities in the next phase of Sterne&#8217;s growth. Tikehau Capital would invest through its fund dedicated to the energy transition T2 Energy Transition.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1972, Sterne Group is now a key European player in multi-service transport and logistics with strong historical positions in customized, high value-added operations. Based on its historical offer of regular transport and night delivery, it has developed three complementary service offers (time-critical, urban delivery, aftermarket), as well as a best-in-class digital platform. Its ability to act on the levers of route optimization and optimized loading rates, combined with its extensive national and international network, make it a benchmark player in sustainable transport in a sector that is starting to decarbonize.<\/p>\n<p>This sale is in line with the development strategy of the Sterne Group, which, with Meanings Capital Partners, has transformed its business model to become one of the European leaders in premium value-added transport and logistics. Over the last four years, Groupe Sterne has seen its turnover grow from \u20ac90 million to nearly \u20ac270 million, thanks to eight inorganic operations and sustained organic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of Tikehau Capital as a majority shareholder represents a major step in the development of Groupe Sterne, particularly internationally, to pursue the strategy initiated in Europe and China.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Groupe Sterne &#8216;s Legal counsel &#8211; <em><strong>Hoche Avocats &#8211; <\/strong><\/em>Management\u2019s legal and tax counsel :\u00a0 Grine Lahreche (Partner), Sophie Millet (Counsel), Audrey Szultz and J\u00e9r\u00f4me Mas (Tax Partner) -Sellers\u2019 legal counsel:\u00a0 Jean-Luc Blein (Partner); Jennifer Pernet (Counsel); Amandine Doury (Associate); Nicolas Guerry (Associate).<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.environnement-magazine.fr\/mobilite\/article\/2021\/11\/04\/136814\/sterne-miserait-sur-tikehau-capital-pour-implanter-international\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environnement-magazine &#8211; 04 novembre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfnews.net\/L-actualite\/LBO\/Operations\/LBO-Ter\/Sterne-en-route-pour-un-LBO-Ter-381532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cfnews \u2013 3 novembre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/capitalfinance.lesechos.fr\/deals\/lbo\/tikehau-prend-les-commandes-du-transporteur-sterne-1360373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Capital finance \u2013 2 novembre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agefi.fr\/financements-marches\/actualites\/quotidien\/20211102\/tikehau-capital-va-prendre-parts-sein-groupe-331273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L\u2019Agefi \u2013 2 novembre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boursier.com\/actions\/actualites\/news\/tikehau-capital-en-negociations-exclusives-avec-meanings-capital-partners-en-vue-de-l-acquisition-du-groupe-sterne-861579.html#:~:text=(Boursier.com)%20%E2%80%94%20Tikehau,du%20Groupe%20Sterne%2C...\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boursier.com &#8211; 29 octobre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lecourrierfinancier.fr\/immobilier\/breve\/tikehau-capital-entre-en-negociations-exclusives-en-vue-de-lacquisition-du-groupe-sterne-78276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le courrier financier &#8211; 29 octobre 2021<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>LJA n\u00b01512 &#8211; 08 novembre 2021<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikehaucapital.com\/~\/media\/Files\/T\/Tikehau-Capital\/PR%202021%20FR\/2021-10-28-CP-Sterne.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>CP \u2013 28 octobre 2021<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tikehau Capital, the alternative asset management group, announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with the historical shareholders of Groupe Sterne, led by Meanings Capital Partners, an investment platform for business transformation.
