Septentrion Finance has advised the management of G2EI in the context of the sale to Vinci Energies
30/01/2025
G2EI (located in Provin, Hauts-de-France) specializes in electrical installation works for a professional (B2B) clientele. The company offers comprehensive services covering the study, supply, and implementation of electrical installations. G2EI is particularly renowned for addressing the needs of retail sector players, providing electrical works during the opening or renovation of retail outlets. While the company enjoys a strong regional presence in northern France, it is capable of operating throughout the entire national territory.
Founded in 2001 by Éric Vanderveken (the company's CEO and majority shareholder), G2EI has grown over recent years; its team now consists of around ten employees. Besides Mr. Vanderveken, this growth has been made possible thanks to David Blum, the company's Business Manager and minority partner.
As Mr. Vanderveken prepares for retirement, G2EI’s management and shareholders engaged Septentrion Finance to assist them in the sale of their company. Following a competitive process organized by the investment bank, VINCI Energies ultimately acquired the company. This acquisition enables VINCI Energies to strengthen its territorial network and provides G2EI with the backing of a major group.
The transaction was completed on January 24, 2025
