Levine Keszler advises ORA Group on its development with the entry of Siparex Midcap 4 as a shareholder
This transformative transaction enables ELBA Group, now known as ORA Group, to consolidate its position as a leader in the creation of new retail models for the luxury sector by placing ESG issues at the heart of its strategy.
Founded in 2006 by Thibaut de Malézieux, the ORA Group is a leading player in the design of luxury retail outlets.
The ORA Group’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, driven by its subsidiary Leaf, which specialises in CSR and eco-innovation consulting, has led it to make a strategic choice in favour of integrated production in France. Its four industrial sites – three in the Île-de-France region and one in Alsace – enable it to use the artistic craftsmanship and outstanding expertise of its teams as the foundation for new, responsible and cutting-edge models.
In less than 20 years, and thanks to the trust of its 600 customers, including some of the biggest names in the luxury sector, the ORA Group has established itself as a major player in its sector in France and internationally through a strategy combining organic growth and targeted acquisitions, with nine external growth operations completed since 2013. ORA currently employs nearly 300 people in France and abroad and expects to generate revenue in excess of €70 million in 2024.
The entry of Siparex Micap 4 into the capital alongside Thibaut de Malézieux and his management team, as well as long-standing partners Adaxtra Capital and Bpifrance, who are renewing their confidence, aims to support the group’s strong growth ambitions, which include achieving turnover in excess of €100 million by the end of the development plan. One of the main objectives of this transaction is to accelerate ORA’s international development while consolidating its various businesses, both through organic growth and a dynamic acquisition strategy.
