Naxicap Partners becomes the majority shareholder of the ITAL Express Group alongside its CEO Patrice Claverie and the management team. CAPZA reinvests in the operation alongside financial co-investors: Nord Est Expansion, Euro Capital, and CEGEE Capital.

Founded in 1975, ITAL Express is among the leading players in the European market for the distribution of spare parts for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and equipment intended for professionals: industrial vehicles (heavy goods vehicles, trailers), commercial vehicles, tractors, agricultural machinery, and other equipment (horticultural, forestry).

ITAL Express distinguishes itself through extensive technical expertise and differentiated advisory services. With a portfolio of over 2 million references, a network of quality international suppliers, and an efficient logistics platform, ITAL Express offers its customers one of the best quality/price/delivery time ratios on the market.

With CAPZA’s support, ITAL Express has built a robust growth dynamic combining organic development (expansion of product ranges, diversification of distribution channels, including digital) and targeted acquisitions to enter new markets: Consogarage in 2019 (garage equipment and tools), Anjou Diffusion in 2020 (technical parts for bearings and transmissions for agricultural machinery), and DPM Motis in 2023 (spare parts for gardening and forestry equipment).
 
The ambition, shared by the management team, is to continue enriching the offering and the addressed markets, both by supporting organic growth and through new targeted acquisitions in France and internationally.

“We are pleased to have accompanied Patrice Claverie and his teams in accelerating the growth of the Group over the past 5 years, particularly through the completion of several external growth operations, and to renew our support by reinvesting in this operation. We are convinced that ITAL Express has the potential to become the leading player in spare parts for professionals in Europe.” – Benoît Choppin, Managing Partner, CAPZA
