Les Entreprises Esmer has sold a majority stake to a private Walloon holding

A private Walloon holding has acquired a majority stake in Les Entreprises Esmer.

Founded in 2007, Les Entreprises Esmer is a leading player in the installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and sanitary products for B2B customers in Belgium. With its class 7 public certification, an in-house study office and numerous outstanding references, the company delivers comprehensive, high-quality solutions for both public and private projects. Boasting an experienced and qualified team, Les Entreprises Esmer is one of the few Belgian companies capable of handling installations for both residential and non-residential projects, including apartment complexes, the BNP Paribas Fortis headquarters and the RTBF headquarters. Over the years, the company has built longstanding relationships with most major construction companies in Belgium, ensuring a seamless project pipeline for the future.

The buyer is a private holding company from the Wallonia region of Belgium, acting as the family office for a wealthy family based in Liège. While the existing shareholders will remain actively involved in operations, the entry of this new shareholder will support the company’s growth strategy by enabling it to undertake larger and more complex projects.

Oaklins’ team in Belgium acted as the exclusive sell-side M&A advisor to the shareholders of Les Entreprises Esmer.
