Clearwater has advised the management of Sepur, a French leader in waste management, on its secondary LBO transaction supported by Cube Infrastructure Managers, an independent Luxembourgian management company focusing on investments in the European infrastructure space. The infrastructure fund has become the group’s majority shareholder, taking over from Trail Capital, alongside its historic founder Hervé Matuszewski and the management, led by Youri Ivanov.
Founded in 1965, Sepur has become one of the leading waste collection and sorting companies in France, particularly in the Île-de-France and surrounding regions. Together with its new shareholder and management, the company will be able to enhance its offerings in several sectors including collection, sorting, recycling, and recovery, in order to acquire a national dimension.
This transaction represents a new stage in the development of the Sepur Group. Sepur intends to draw on the expertise of its new shareholder in services for local authorities and in the energy transition to pursue its development strategy. Cube Infrastructure Managers will be able to support Sepur with its transition and in pursuing its green mobility policy and will also enable it to accelerate its diversification and national development while maintaining its DNA as an independent and agile company to adapt to the needs of its customers.
