We have advised Eurazeo Planetary Boundaries Fund (EPBF) on the acquisition of Bioline AgroSciences, a leading player in innovative biological solutions for crop protection. With over 40 years of experience, Bioline AgroSciences plays a key role in supporting farmers in their transition toward more sustainable practices. The company operates six biofactories across the US, UK, France, Spain, and Kenya and primarily serves today high-value crops such as berries, flowers, ornamentals, fruits and vegetables.
Bioline AgroSciences designs, produces and markets biological-based solutions to enable growers to achieve targeted and effective pest control in agriculture, ranking as the third-largest player worldwide in macrobials in a highly fragmented market.
Further to the first close of its fund, Eurazeo EPBF acquired a majority stake in Bioline AgroSciences as its first investment, valuing its top-tier product portfolio, reputed brand, extensive international footprint and double-digit sales growth since 2018.
Eurazeo EPBF's investment in Bioline AgroSciences, alongside the impact investment family fund Aurae as a minority shareholder, will enable Bioline AgroSciences to accelerate its growth through organic investments as well as a proactive buy-and-build strategy, embodying EPBF’s commitment to creating a larger champion to drive the transition to sustainable agriculture.
