UGGC Avocats advises PRB, a subsidiary of Holcim Investments France, on the arrival of Algimouss within the group

Holcim is a leader in sustainable construction, with net sales of 16.2 billion Swiss francs in 2024, creating value for the entire built environment, from infrastructure to industry and buildings. Headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, Holcim employs more than 48,000 people in 45 attractive markets – in Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Algimouss is a French company that has been recognized for over 45 years for its expertise in the design, manufacture and distribution of innovative products designed to combat the proliferation of vegetation on buildings and increase the lifespan of constructions.

The acquisition of Algimouss strengthens Holcim’s position in France’s dynamic building renovation and maintenance market, enabling it to offer its customers ever more comprehensive and innovative solutions.

As part of an MBO (Management By-Out), carried out via the “Transmettre & Pérenniser II” fund, Sodero Gestion (Caisse d’Epargne) became Algimouss’ majority shareholder at the end of 2021, alongside Denis Liaigre, its industrial director, Antoine Même, the sales director, and Jean-Pierre Thibaud, the financial director.
