• Created in 1999 by Bernard Guez, the Doucet group is one of the major French manufacturers of hygiene, cleaning, protection and renovation products. Its activities are split between the consumer products division, which offers a broad line of household products, with brands which are leaders in their markets (such as Starwax, Sinto, Kapo or Kiraviv), and the professional division which supplies the public sector, SMEs or farms with a broad range of specific solutions (with the brands Atout Vert, Purodor and Marosam) via an exclusive sales network.

INVOLVMENT OF CAPZANINE IN 2004

• Nature of the deal: Secondary LBO


• The market in which Doucet operates is perfectly suited for an LBO operation. The experience and quality of management, together with the group’s strategy of developing through external growth, were the elements which convinced Capzanine to participate in the mezzanine financing of this secondary MBO.
