This operation is part of the external development of the ESTÉMI group orchestrated by its president Jean-Luc Nouveau at the head of the group since 2007. Loubat Closures completes the 4 manufacturing and production sites of the Estémi group (newly named) established on the national territory.
For Jean-Luc Nouveau, Chairman of the Estémi Group: “The construction of the Estémi group, since its origin, has been based on local proximity and production in France on sites already anchored in their territory, practicing a close relationship with their customers, independent installation professionals and general contractors. Loubat Fasteners becomes the 5th manufacturing and production site of the Estémi group and thus enriches, thanks to its recognized expertise, our offer of tailor-made, high-performance, durable fasteners made in France. This operation balances our offer of joinery and our offer of closures while allowing us to continue to mesh the national territory. »
Loubat Closures is a company specializing in the design and manufacture of made-to-measure closures established in Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot (47) since 1952. Mr. Kim Van Roy, President since 2020, will continue with his team the development of the business both industrially and commercially.
The company has acquired and capitalized on significant experience and know-how in the business of made-to-measure closures and in terms of industrialized manufacturing since its origin. Its products are distributed by professional installers and general contractors over a large part of France. Its entire range of roller shutters, swing shutters, sliding shutters and garage doors, mainly in aluminium, is NF certified. The company was a forerunner in France for the NF certification of shutters (2016).
This acquisition strengthens the financial base of Loubat Closures and will enable it to benefit in the long term, within an industrial group on a human scale, from commercial, productive and administrative synergies, as well as operational and strategic support.
For its part, Loubat Closures brings to the Estémi group know-how and technical expertise recognized for decades in the trades of the manufacture of closures and in particular swing shutters.
For Jean-Luc Nouveau, Chairman of the Estémi Group: “This acquisition raises the Estémi group to a turnover of 88 million euros with a workforce of 450 employees. New external growth in the Rhône-Alpes region remains highly relevant and will, we hope, be the group's next chapter in 2022."
