Apr 15, 2024

Arcole, a French private equity fund, in partnership with longstanding shareholder and CEO Thierry Collard, is excited to announce a new phase of growth of Setic, a global leader in designing and manufacturing machinery for the wire and cable industry based in Roanne and Paris, France. This strategic investment aims at accelerating Setic’s development and enables a drastic deleveraging. The company is thus in a very good position to capitalize on the favorable market trends anticipated in the coming years.

Setic will fully embrace its role as a French industrial leader at the service of energy transition. The first steps on this path include enhancing the sales structure of the U.S. subsidiary, upgrading facilities in Roanne with new R&D capabilities, and rebranding the group as “Setic Pourtier” on the occasion of its 75th anniversary, combining the legacy of both historical brands.
