Veil Jourde, counsel to TRAIL in the sale of Buffet Crampon to Alcopa

Veil Jourde is advising TRAIL and its financial co-investors on the sale of Buffet Crampon to Alcopa, a Belgian family investment company.

Established in 1825 and based in Mantes-la-Ville, Buffet Crampon is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of top-of-the-range wind instruments.

The group is present in a vast segment of its market, serving both professional and amateur musicians, with sales of over €110 million in 2023, 90% of which outside France.

TRAIL’s investment in Buffet Crampon has enabled the group to innovate, consolidate its leadership position through acquisitions and the building of a portfolio of iconic instrument brands, and expand its international presence, particularly in Asia, where the region now accounts for around 25% of its sales.

Buffet Crampon’s strategic transformation in its market illustrates TRAIL’s expertise in developing companies by leveraging their excellence.

TRAIL was advised in this transaction by Veil Jourde, with Laurent Jobert and Vincent Ramel, partners, Antoine Chomette and Nassim Ahmin, associates, on the corporate and contractual aspects; Hervé Pillard, partner, on the financing aspects; Pauline Larroque-Daran, partner, and Marine Guille, associate, on the social aspects. Veil Jourde also advised TRAIL’s financial co-investors.
