MBA Capital acted as advisers on the sale of TUYAUTERIE INDUSTRIELLE SOUDURE (T.I.S.) to GESTAL group

The operation will enable T.I.S. to pursue its strong development while being supported by an industrial group.

TUYAUTERIE INDUSTRIELLE SOUDURE is located near Castres (South-Western France) and has specialized in piping, welding, ironwork and boiler making for industrial installations since 1996. Thanks to its team of thirty qualified employees, it carries out both new projects and industrial maintenance for various sectors such as the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, hygiene and energy industries. T.I.S. works for blue ship companies such as PIERRE FABRE, LABEYRIE, ENGIE, BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM and ANDROS.

T.I.S. was taken over in 2018 by Mr. Christopher Guillon, previously a business manager within the company, and has rapidly expanded throughout South-Western France.

MBA Capital Bordeaux was asked to set up a competitive sale process with human-sized industrial groups. MBA Capital's objective was to find a buyer offering the best conditions while ensuring the continuity and supporting the growth of the company. The sale to the GESTAL group, a multi-business and multi-sector player in the field of services to industry with 600 employees, was finalized on December 29th, 2021.

Christopher Guillon, Chairman of T.I.S., will continue to manage the company:

Nous sommes très heureux de concrétiser cette opération avec GESTAL qui marque une nouvelle phase de croissance pour nos équipes. Nous nous adossons aujourd’hui à un acteur réputé de la maintenance industrielle avec lequel nous partageons un fort esprit entrepreneurial ainsi que des valeurs de service de nos clients.”

For its part, the GESTAL group will rely on T.I.S' track record and know-how, referenced by renowned clients, in order to extend its territorial coverage and diversify its activity with clients in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries, and to pursue its development.

This external growth operation, supported by the FCDE private equity fund, is a key step in the national deployment of the GESTAL group.
Nous partageons avec Christopher Guillon l’ambition de consolider les forces de T.I.S au sein du groupe GESTAL et de développer notre activité dans la région Occitanie, afin d’accompagner au mieux nos clients actuels et futurs.”
Olivier Aldrin, Chairman of GESTAL
