Milan/London/Paris/Munich — Ambi­enta SGR SpA (“Ambi­enta”) announ­ces that its plat­form company Cap Vert Group (“Cap Vert”), one of the French market leaders in pruning, has acqui­red N2B Arro­sage (“N2B Arro­sage”). N2B Arro­sage is also based in France and specia­li­zes in the manage­ment of irri­ga­tion systems for urban green spaces. Ambi­enta is one of the largest and leading asset mana­gers in Europe with a focus on envi­ron­men­tal sustaina­bi­lity. N2B Arro­sage designs, installs and main­ta­ins irri­ga­tion systems. The company was foun­ded in 1986, is based in the capi­tal region of Île-de-France and employs more than 30 people. N2B Arro­sage is an estab­lished player in the Île-de-France region, serving a large number of private custo­mers. With the acqui­si­tion of N2B Arro­sage, Cap Vert is expan­ding its water divi­sion and signi­fi­cantly broa­de­ning its offe­ring for private custo­mers in this market segment. The market for irri­ga­tion systems is growing conti­nuously. This growth is mainly driven by muni­ci­pa­li­ties that are expan­ding green spaces and other unsea­led areas in response to global warm­ing in order to achieve a cooling effect in cities. The acqui­si­tion of N2B Arro­sage streng­thens Cap Vert’s ability to respond to these needs and manage large-scale projects. The Cap Vert Group, in line with Ambi­en­ta’s invest­ment stra­tegy, contri­bu­tes posi­tively to the company’s envi­ron­men­tal impact metrics — redu­cing CO2 emis­si­ons, preser­ving biodi­ver­sity and, thanks to the acqui­si­tion of N2B Arro­sage, saving water. Smart auto­ma­tic irri­ga­tion enables an opti­mi­zed water flow taking into account para­me­ters such as tempe­ra­ture and humi­dity; for urban green spaces, smart auto­ma­tic irri­ga­tion also contri­bu­tes to the preser­va­tion of vege­ta­tion and biodi­ver­sity as well as to lowe­ring the tempe­ra­ture through water evapo­ra­tion and tran­spi­ra­tion of plants. This also indi­rectly redu­ces CO2 emis­si­ons, as less air condi­tio­ning and venti­la­tion of indoor spaces is requi­red by lowe­ring the outdoor tempe­ra­ture. Eric Girot, CEO of Cap Vert, commen­ted: “We are very plea­sed to welcome N2B Arro­sage to the Cap Vert Group. We are confi­dent that this part­ner­ship will signi­fi­cantly streng­then our service offe­ring and client port­fo­lio by combi­ning our market leader­ship with N2B’s exper­tise in water manage­ment.” Gwen­aëlle Le Ho Dagu­zan, Part­ner at Ambi­enta, added: “The acqui­si­tion of N2B Arro­sage fits perfectly with our long-term stra­tegy for Cap Vert, seam­lessly alig­ning with our ambi­tion to expand the Group’s presence in promi­sing markets such as water manage­ment, while enhan­cing the over­all service port­fo­lio. This tran­sac­tion under­lines our commit­ment to sustainable growth through targe­ted acqui­si­ti­ons that deli­ver real value to Cap Vert’s custo­mers and part­ners.” About Ambi­enta

Hattingen/Uelzen — The Rivean subsi­diary Toner­Part­ner Group, one of the leading online retail­ers of prin­ter ink and toner in Europe, is streng­thening its market posi­tion by acqui­ring its compe­ti­tor Trensco.
Rivean Capi­tal has owned the Toner­Part­ner Group since 2021.
— Toner­Part­ner acqui­res 100 percent of Trensco GmbH und Co KG in Uelzen with its sales brands HD Toner and HQ-Fit.
This crea­tes the largest German online distri­bu­tor in this sector with around one million active custo­mers and an annual turno­ver of over 100 million euros.
Follo­wing the acqui­si­tion of the French provi­der SAS Rousselle.com in 2021 and the purchase of Druckerpatronen.de one year later, the Toner­Part­ner Group is thus conti­nuing its dyna­mic growth.
“HD Toner serves an impres­sive number of private and busi­ness custo­mers. We see strong growth poten­tial for the company through opti­mi­zed, AI-supported online marke­ting, syner­gies in purcha­sing and the marke­ting of our sustainable products under our own ‘Green Line’ brand to HD Toner custo­mers,” says Toner­Part­ner Group CEO Morten Severon.
He adds: “With products rela­ting to sport and fitness, which are sold under HQ-Fit, the Uelzen-based company has successfully estab­lished a second main­stay that is also of inte­rest to the Toner­Part­ner Group.”
The Trensco products will conti­nue to be sold under the estab­lished HD Toner and HQ-Fit brands.
“The Toner­Part­ner Group provi­des Trensco with comple­tely new growth oppor­tu­ni­ties. Toge­ther with the Toner­Part­ner Group’s strong brands, a highly profes­sio­nal sales plat­form and excel­lent know-how, we know that Trensco and its employees are in the best hands,” empha­size Anja and Patric Weiß, foun­ders and mana­ging direc­tors of Trensco.
“With the acqui­si­tion of Trensco, Rivean Capi­tal is inves­t­ing further in the Toner­Part­ner plat­form and signi­fi­cantly expan­ding its market posi­tion. This is another exam­ple of Rivean Capi­tal’s role as a growth part­ner for entre­pre­neurs in the SME sector,” says Andreas Klab, Part­ner and Head of Rivean Capi­tal’s German office. Rivean Capi­tal has owned the Toner­Part­ner Group since 2021.
