Context and Objectives<\/span><\/h2>\n

LACROIX aimed to refocus on its businesses with strong technological synergies, in order to achieve its ambition of becoming a global leader in industrial IoT solutions and electronic equipment for critical applications in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The Oneida team advised the Lacroix Group on the sale of the Signaling BU, particularly regarding transaction preparation, the communication plan, and the search for a strategic buyer.<\/p>\n

Results<\/span><\/h2>\n

Negotiations began on December 14, 2023, under an exclusivity agreement.<\/p>\n

On April 30, 2024, LACROIX finalized the divestment of its Signaling BU to the holding company AIAC (American Industrial Acquisition Corporation). As of this date, the Signaling BU is no longer included in the Group’s consolidation scope. <\/p>\n

LACROIX will continue to support AIAC during the transition period, particularly for support functions and commercial relations.<\/p>\n
