Veil Jourde, advisor to Sabre Paris and its founders in the LBO led by French Food Capital

Veil Jourde is advising Sabre Paris and its founders in connection with the majority stake acquisition by French Food Capital, an investment fund specialized in supporting French champions across the entire agri-food value chain, alongside Bpifrance.

As part of this transaction, the Gelb family, founders of Sabre Paris, is reinvesting in the acquisition structure alongside French Food Capital, retaining a significant equity stake. Bpifrance, which has been supporting the company for several years, is also participating in the deal with a minority investment.

Founded in 1993 by Francis and Pascale Gelb, Sabre Paris is a renowned French tableware brand that has made its mark by reinventing traditional norms, offering collections assembled in France that combine quality, design, and creativity.

Present in around 50 countries, Sabre Paris is experiencing strong growth, with expected revenues of nearly €23 million in 2025—representing an average annual growth of 40% since 2020, with over 80% of sales generated internationally.

The entry of French Food Capital is intended to support Sabre Paris’s ambition to consolidate its growth trajectory and firmly establish its position in key international markets.

In this transaction, Sabre Paris and its founders were advised by law firm Veil Jourde, with partner Gabriel d’Amécourt and associate Enzo Niccolini handling corporate and contractual matters.
