Natixis Partners advised EMZ Partners on its investment in Nexteam, a leading industrial player serving the Aerospace and Defense sectors, alongside the management team led by Ludovic Asquini, Chairman, and Christophe Maury, Chief Executive Officer, a core group of long-standing investors known as the “Amis de Nexteam”, comprising family offices and institutional investors, and a consortium of leading financial investors led by EMZ Partners, Bpifrance, and Amundi Private Equity Funds.

Founded in 2013, Nexteam has established itself as a key manufacturer of critical components for the Aerospace and Defense industries, successfully consolidating and integrating several family-owned businesses.

The Group has developed cutting-edge expertise across three core manufacturing processes: machining, foundry, and sheet metal fabrication/boilermaking.
