LBO France and Capzanine have sold DCI Group to Naxicap Partners. DCI is a specialist in the integration of IT infrastructure solutions and is set to generate revenue of over EUR50 million in 2016.
Established in 1992 and based in Les Ulis, France, DCI offers a range of IT infrastructure solutions for mid-market and key account clients. Its offering focuses on four areas of expertise: security and compliance, unified communications, network and performance, data centres and virtualisation. DCI has a solid reputation underpinned by its diverse and innovative technological offering, strong partnerships with publishers and manufacturers and recognised quality of service.
With revenue of over EUR47 million in 2015, more than 150 employees and a network of four regional offices, DCI is one of the biggest independent infrastructure integrators in France. DCI's business has seen average annual growth of more than 10% since 2012 thanks to its successful growth strategy with key account clients and the rollout of a managed services offering.
This majority LBO involves managers who have recently joined the group, including Fabrice Tusseau, appointed CEO in 2011 and President in 2014, who is increasing his stake. The transaction also marks the withdrawal of LBO France and Capzanine, which first invested in DCI in May 2011.
“After five years of DCI’s successful cooperation with LBO France and Capzanine, Naxicap Partners came on-board very quickly to carry out this operation at our sides. We particularly liked Naxicap Partners' enthusiastic and confident approach to DCI's development, which will be achieved, in part, through external growth operations,” says Fabrice Tusseau, President of DCI.
