We have advised Tikehau Ace Capital on the acquisition of a majority stake in Visco, a leading French specialist in the machining of complex mechanical parts for the new and maintenance markets.
Founded in 1908, Visco is located near Montargis. It specialises in the design, development and manufacture of complex, high-value-added parts and sub-assemblies. It is referenced by the biggest players, including Thales, Dassault, Nexter and Safran, in addition to a dozen other manufacturers.
The company is recognised for the quality of its industrial tooling: with a pool of more than 100 machines, the company has in-house expertise in both high-precision machining of hard or exotic metals and the assembly of complex sub-parts. Customer satisfaction, respect for deadlines, reactivity and quality are part of the company's DNA.
The company has been managed by Fabrice Doizon since the early 2000s, who has promoted over the years an industrial excellence culture allowing the company to go through the recent crises with the support of its customers. Fabrice Doizon will remain at the head of the company with the strong support of Tikehau Ace Capital.
