Acquisition of CID Lines

Natixis Partners co-advised IK Investment Partners (alongside ING) in the context of the acquisition of CID Lines, a manufacturer of cleaning agents and disinfectants for the agricultural production, for the transport industries and for food processing. CID Lines, owned by the founding family and Gilde, generated 2015 revenues of €64M and 2015 EBITDA of €19M. Following a wide auction process including both trade and financial parties, IK secured the transaction with the full support of the founding family.
