ARIANE.NETWORK is fibre optic network operator in the South of France, serving private companies and local authorities.
The company deploys high performance infrastructures including its own 800 km highspeed fibre optic network and a new-generation ecological datacenter “Fil d’Ariane” also included in the transaction.
It achieved a turnover of 9 million euros and has 56 experienced employees.
Aurignac Finance has advised SAEM E-Téra, in which the Departmental Council of Tarn is the main shareholder, in the disposal of 100% of its subsidiary ARIANE.NETWORK to a French national B2B telecom operator, Groupe CELESTE, mainly owned by Infravia Fund.
Aurignac Finance perfectly met the selling shareholders’ challenges and expectations, through its connection to the market and its experience of mid-cap transactions, by setting up a competitive process and targeting the most relevant players with regards to the company’s assets.
