Green building

Green Campus

One of the biggest industrial estates in the Lyon metropolis.

The company Green Campus, comprising Omnes, via its Construction Energie Plus (CEP) fund, L’Auxiliaire, Foncière Magellana and Patriarca Group, have acquired the majority of buildings in the Moulin à Vent industrial estate, an area of more than 34,000m², located in Vénissieux, within the Lyon city loop. With 34 buildings bringing together more than 60 businesses, the Moulin à Vent estate is one of the biggest industrial estates in the Lyon metropolis. Green Campus, the company formed to acquire the estate, showcases a profound transformation strategy via the restructuring of the majority of buildings in order to significantly improve the energy performance and user comfort, the development of complementary surfaces and the implementation of new services. In this way, Green Campus’s ambition is to be a model of green and sustainable renovation and revaluation of this asset type, which is symbolic of the architecture and layout of French urban tertiary estates towards the end of the 1980s.

Interview What does ABMI do exactly?Why did you decide to include Omnes in your shareholder base?2018 key figures

Omnes becomes majority shareholder in the engineering consultancy ABMI through a proprietary primary MBO.

It is a milestone in ABMI’s history, which, for the first time since its creation 35 years ago, is including financial investors in its shareholder base to accelerate its transformation.

What does ABMI do exactly?

As an engineering company, we build teams of consultant- technicians and engineers dedicated to carrying out the projects we’re entrusted with. Our sectors cover product development, industrial vehicles, aeronautics, railways, energy and nuclear power. Our technical teams are always involved, and the management teams build organizations dedicated to each client’s specific issues. This ability to offer unique solutions is at the heart of our action and is key to the performance we deliver. Engineering is about turning ideas into concrete reality: this is ABMI’s mission for projects, equipment, production processes, industrial installations, or projects involving new products.

Why did you decide to include Omnes in your shareholder base?

My managing partners were wanting to retire and I was looking for a new shareholder core to transform ABMI. The connection with Omnes was fluid and natural. Beyond skills, it is above all about the human factor. I really appreciate listening to the Omnes team and their willingness to understand how we work.

Our roadmap is ambitious and combines organic and external growth deals. In terms of organic growth, we are looking to upgrade the company’s service offerings and activities. We are also working to structure and industrialize processes and good practice. With regards to acquisitions, we have several objectives: supplementing existing business know-how, attracting new customers and internationalizing ABMI, which currently operates mainly in France.

With Omnes, we have built a supportive environment that is based on listening, regular interaction and quick decision-making. Together, we formed ABMI’s new supervisory board so that we have the right people around us to execute our transformation plan efficiently and quickly.

Meet Why did you join Captain Tortue in 2016?How would you describe your management style?What attracted you to Omnes?

Last December, Omnes invested in Captain Tortue, the European leader in direct selling of women’s ready-to-wear clothing, alongside BIP Capital Partners.

We sit down with Nathalie Coppola, Managing Director of Captain Tortue.

Why did you join Captain Tortue in 2016?

After spending 25 years working for UScompanies (Avon and Tupperware), Ifound it very invigorating joining this French family success story to continue its development and double its international success. My challenge is exciting: convincing teams to embark on a bigger journey, by applying the big American groups’ recipes, while maintaining Captain Tortue’s qualitative ingredients. As a Parisian, I did not know anything about the direct selling sector, but I ended up dedicating my entire career to it. It is a fascinating profession because it is deeply human and feminine.
The women who join us have often left their first job to devote themselves to selling our products. We must support them and identify talents capable of leading sales teams and developing their business.

How would you describe your management style?

One of the particularities of direct selling is the independent status of our sales force on the ground. As a result, you have to make people want to do things, rather than dictate. I therefore adopt a human management approach, making sure I motivate my teams, coach them and support them towards more autonomy and success. I try to inject good humour and passion in my employees, so that they feel good at work and give the maximum. I also pay particular attention to the age pyramid, to ensure good balance between all generations.

What attracted you to Omnes?

Their curiosity, their desire to understand our business model and their willingness to support us in our internationalization. The Omnes teams are very present and attentive, our discussions are lively and open. Omnes brings us their network and expertise on topics further away from our fields of expertise such as digital transformation for example.
