French camping group Trigano has entered into an agreement to acquire three of France’s leading leisure vehicle distributors: CLC, SLC and Loisiréo. The exclusive negotiations will see Trigano acquire 70 per cent of the capital and voting rights of the three companies, which between them have 44 motorhome and caravan sales outlets in France and employ some 800 people. In 2020, the three groups provided a turnover of some €400 million and all are profitable.

A statement by Trigano said: “This transaction is fully in line with Trigano's development strategy through external growth. It would allow Trigano to continue its investment in the distribution of leisure vehicles in Europe and complete its customer service offering.”

Taking into account the level of Trigano’s sales to these distributors, the contribution of consolidated sales resulting from these acquisitions is expected to stand at roughly € 350 million. The management teams of CLC, SLC and Loisiréo would continue to lead and to develop their respective groups as part of the acquisition.
