Edmond de Rothschild Corporate Finance advised the shareholders of ESTYA (formerly known as ERIS), a French leading integrator in electronic fire safety and security system services, on the sale of a majority stake to Charterhouse. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approval.
Founded in 1974, ESTYA, is a leading French services provider specialising in electronic fire safety and security systems with a comprehensive offering across electronic fire detection, smoke extraction and compartmentation, gas detection and electronic security. Headquartered in Paris, the company delivers circa €120m in revenue, across 15 agencies in France, and has tripled in size since 2021, having completed seven acquisitions during that period of time.
ESTYA’s management team, including CEO Ludovic Goëta, is committed to supporting the firm’s next stage of growth alongside Charterhouse and Chequers Capital, who will remain a significant shareholder following an initial investment in 2021. Through this partnership, and in alignment with ESTYA’s management, Charterhouse will apply its expertise in professionalising, internationalising, and transforming services businesses through organic growth and M&A initiatives across France and other key European geographies.
For Edmond de Rothschild Corporate Finance, this transaction strengthens our expertise in the B2B services sector, notably after advising Climater shareholders on 2 LBOs (2022 and 2025), IK Partners on the acquisition of Eurofeu (2024), VK Electronic shareholders on the sale to Scutum (2024), IK Partners on the acquisition of Batisanté (2022) and Seven2 on the acquisition of CEME (2022).
