Small Cap Buyout Investments

LowendalMasaï

Consultancy specialised in the reduction of social security, tax and operating costs for major industrials and for local authorities. In September 2004 LowendalMasaï executed a secondary buyout with the arrival of AXA Private Equity as minority shareholder. (Lowendal's chairman and founder, Pierre Lasry, retains a majority holding). Present in six countries at the moment AXA Private Equity bought into the equity, LowendalMasaï and its financial partner have a double objective: to extend its range of products in order to better meet its customers’ needs, and to step up growth through acquisitions in a market that is particularly fragmented. In October 2006, Lowendal acquired Masaï, a consultancy specialising in strategic purchases, thus creating an offer that is unique internationally.
