Aptic has received a minority investment from Sofiouest

The shareholders of Aptic have completed a primary minority LBO with Sofiouest.

Founded in 2016, Aptic has become a key player in the recruitment for finance and support functions in the mid-market segment. The group offers two complementary services: headhunting for top and middle management through Aptic and permanent and non-permanent recruitment through Maïki. The company serves a high-quality B2B clientele of large groups and SMEs with whom Aptic maintains strong, recurring relationships, thanks to its experienced specialized consultants and its excellent, professional and efficient recruitment process.

Sofiouest, an investment company and subsidiary of Groupe SIPA Ouest-France, invests its funds in venture capital and private equity. The firm aims to promote the sustainable, profitable growth of French SMEs. This strategy is deployed through direct investments in the capital of companies, co-investments and investments in specialized funds. Sofiouest contributes to the development of Groupe SIPA Ouest-France through human and socially responsible investment.

Oaklins’ team in France acted as the exclusive sell-side financial advisor to Aptic’s shareholders in this transaction.

Parties
“Eight years after its foundation, Aptic is beginning a new stage of its development by welcoming Sofiouest and a large number of employees to its capital. I am delighted to be involved in this new phase, while remaining at the service of Aptic’s teams, our customers and our candidates. This arrival puts us in an even stronger position to tackle the strategic challenges impacting our businesses.”
