Oeneo Group has announced the signing of an agreement with the shareholders of Lamouroux to acquire the company's entire share capital through its wholly owned subsidiary Vivelys.

Founded in 1988 and based in Beychac-et-Caillau, a commune in the Gironde department right in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, Lamouroux has established itself over more than thirty years as a leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of automated temperature control and regulation systems for the wine industry. With a workforce of some 40 employees, Lamouroux generates annual turnover of almost €10 million.

Driven by a genuine workshop culture, Lamouroux is one of the few French companies in the winemaking industry to design, manufacture, assemble and test all of its temperature-control systems in its own workshops located in the Gironde department.

Lamouroux's management team is expected to play a key role in supporting the company's transition, alongside Oeneo Group's teams.

This transaction will expand Oeneo's offering throughout the entire winemaking process – from vineyard to bottle – thanks to a complementary technological component: temperature control during the vinification and aging stages. This business, which is heavily based on innovation and R&D, would ultimately offer significant growth potential, particularly by leveraging the Group's sales network and global presence.

The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, and is expected to be completed in the coming months.
