Septentrion Finance has advised Carre Group on the structuring and arrangement of a €140m financing package

Groupe CARRE (c. €400m revenue) is a leading agricultural trading group, specialising in the collection and marketing of cereals as well as the distribution of agricultural supplies. Through the implementation of this new financing package, Groupe CARRE reaffirms its strong growth ambitions within its core business.

The financing aims primarily to support Groupe CARRE’s continued development, notably by increasing its storage capacity from 600,000 to 700,000 tonnes (for more than 1 million tonnes to be collected during the 2025 harvest season). It will also enable the Group to finance its organic growth and seize acquisition opportunities within its sector.
