EURAZEO INVESTS IN LAURALU, A PAN-EUROPEAN PROVIDER OF DEPLOYABLE INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Eurazeo, through its Infrastructure strategy, has acquired a majority stake in Lauralu from Evolem, with the support of local ecosystem investors, including Origine Partners, Croissance Sud, Sofilaro and IRDI.

Headquartered in France with an established footprint across the United Kingdom, Germany, the Nordics and Spain, Lauralu designs, manufactures, installs and adapts large-scale demountable structures for industrial storage, logistics platforms and operational facilities. Backed by a large, well-invested and redeployable asset base, Lauralu delivers integrated infrastructure solutions at speed and scale to meet the critical requirements of its blue-chip industrial clients. The vast majority of Lauralu's operational performance is generated under multi-year rental contracts, underpinned by a high renewal rate, reflecting the mission-critical nature of the infrastructure it provides.

Founded in 1998 and led by CEO Olivier Hohn, Lauralu has built a strong track record of sustained growth through organic expansion and targeted acquisitions and now manages over 400,000 sqm of deployed infrastructure across Europe.

Eurazeo will support Lauralu's growth through a proactive asset management strategy focused on strengthening the rental model, enhancing the organization and pursuing selective M&A in a fragmented market. Through this investment, Eurazeo also advances its sustainability objectives by supporting a circular asset model driven by high reuse rates, relocatable structures and low embedded carbon, in full alignment with the EU's taxonomy objectives.

Melissa Cohen, Co-Head Infrastructure at Eurazeo, declared:

"Lauralu's structures are critical to the operations they support, offering long-term, hard-to-replace and increasingly valued solutions as Europe's leading industrial operators seek flexible and low-carbon solutions to address their infrastructure needs. We look forward to partnering with Olivier Hohn and his team to accelerate Lauralu's European development."

Olivier Hohn, CEO of Lauralu, said:

"We are delighted to partner with Eurazeo to write Lauralu's next chapter. With their support, we will accelerate our rental-led model, strengthen our asset base and continue to expand across Europe, delivering flexible and sustainable infrastructure solutions to the most demanding industrial operators."
