LGT Private Debt arranges top-up unitranche facility to support Résilians’ add-on acquisition of Talensis
LGT Private Debt acted as arranger and underwriter of a top-up unitranche facility to support Résilians' add-on acquisition of Talensis. Talensis is the repair and engineering division of Group Tabatabai and comprises Renfortec, Solinjection, Determinant, Diagstructure and Datterberg. Résilians carried out the acquisition in partnership with Motion Equity Partners.
Résilians is a French company founded in 1995 by CEO Alain Tanguy that specializes in emergency intervention and renovation services for residential properties damaged by fire or water, as well as major natural disasters. Operating on behalf of insurance companies, experts and property managers, Résilians serves both private individuals and professionals.
Thanks to its comprehensive, turnkey solutions and dense national network of agencies, the company has established longstanding relationships with tier-one insurance providers. Its steady growth has positioned Résilians as one of the market leaders with an ability to meet the scale and quality requirements of insurance companies.
Since 2021, Résilians has been backed by the private equity firm Motion Equity Partners to accelerate its geographical expansion and diversify its service offering. After four years of organic growth and expansion, Résilians is now entering a new phase of development with the strategic acquisition of Talensis.
Talensis is one of France’s leading specialists in repair engineering and ground treatment for the construction, specialized works and civil engineering sectors. The company offers innovative, cutting-edge solutions backed by numerous patents, including two proprietary technologies.
This acquisition strengthens Résilians’ position as a key player in post-disaster restoration and underscores its commitment to providing innovative and efficient solutions for the post-disaster sector, while supporting insurers and experts across the entire value chain. By prioritizing restoration, recycling and repair over replacement in post-disaster recovery, the combined group will play a key role in delivering sustainable solutions to those affected by disasters.
Kevin Abrial, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, commented: “We are pleased to once again support Motion Equity Partners, as well as the management team of Résilians, in this next phase of development. By providing solutions to mitigate the effects of droughts and floods, Talensis plays a crucial role in enhancing resilience to climate change. Résilians is the fifth asset we are integrating into our Article 9 impact private debt strategy, which focuses on the three key themes of climate action, inclusive growth and healthcare.”
