Septentrion Finance has advised the Carlier family on the sale of Carlier Plastiques
16/09/2022
Carlier Plastiques, named after its founder Charles Carlier and family-owned since its creation, has entered a new chapter. France’s second-largest manufacturer of composite panels has been acquired by Innercap and Entrepreneur Invest. The company will now be led by Damien Martel.
Founded in 1957 and based in Calonne-Ricouart (Hauts-de-France), Carlier Plastiques designs and manufactures composite panels for industrial vehicle bodywork, primarily for truck trailer construction. The company relies on a unique in-house-developed production tool: a proprietary continuous press that enables the fabrication of standard panels at scale.
With €30 million in revenue and over 100 employees, Carlier Plastiques & Composites is a recognized player in its field.
Endorsed and certified by leading European truck and trailer manufacturers, the company’s strategy is built on quality, technological innovation, and tailor-made solutions — offering premium products to body builders and kit assemblers across Europe.
