Natixis Partners advised the shareholders of Cholton Group on its sale to Sogedo

Founded in 1954, Cholton is a regional, family-owned group made up of several companies serving public authorities through 3 complementary activities: - Construction of water and wastewater networks - Management of water and sanitation networks and infrastructure - Reuse and recovery of construction site excavated materials With a strong presence in its territories, particularly in the Loire and Rhône departments, the group employs over 150 people and generates nearly €25 million in revenue. The merger between Cholton and Sogedo — a leading player in water and wastewater network management based in Lyon — creates a major independent group serving local authorities, built on strong complementarities and a shared family-driven culture. The new entity generates over €90 million in revenue, employs 500 people, and serves more than 750 local authorities. Natixis Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Cholton Group’s shareholders in this transaction.
