As a dedicated financial partner to Europlasma (Ticker: ALEUP
FP) for the past four years, Alpha Blue Ocean, the family office
founded by Pierre Vannineuse, has reaffirmed its support to the
Landes-based Europlasma group as part of its new phase of
development and re-industrialization with the essential
contribution of the public authorities.
On January 10, Europlasma's management officially announced,
collectively with the Ministry of the Economy, the
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and Clermont Auvergne Métropole, the
reintroduction of manufacturing in France of high-pressure storage
containers, a global innovation developed by Europlasma
Environmental Technologies.
This project has been carried out at the Forges de Gerzat, a few
months after the acquisition and re-launch of the Forges de Tarbes
(Tarbes Industry). The project has been financed with the support
of Alpha Blue Ocean, which has committed up to 25 million euros
over the next seven years. This funding is based on pure long-term
debt (subject to certain previous conditions, the definitive
documentation is still under negotiation). This is in addition to
the currently active convertible bond facility of 100 million euros
executed in 2021 between Alpha Blue Ocean and Europlasma.
Pierre Vannineuse, Founder and CIO of Alpha Blue Ocean:
"We have always believed in the possibilities offered by
Europlasma's innovative and relatively unique technology. Four
years ago, we would have thought it inconceivable that a French
industry leader, a pioneer in its field, would close its doors once
and for all. The recovery plan and redevelopment project were
clear-cut and above all, the proposed management team was highly
motivated and suited to the task at hand. Today, Europlasma is a
leading force in French industry, having received the full support
of the public authorities at all levels. It is a real source of
immense pride to see what we have achieved in such a short period
of time. As such, we would particularly like to thank Jérôme
Garnache (Chairman of the Europlasma Group), Bruno Lemaire
(Minister for the Economy, Finance and Recovery), Agnies
Pannier-Runacher (Deputy Minister for Industry), Olivier Bianchi
(President of Clermont Auvergne Métropole) and Laurent Wauquiez
(President of the Regional Council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) as well
as their teams. We would also like to thank all those who have not
been mentioned but who, through their work and determination, have
actively participated in this success for France."
Jérôme Garnache, CEO of Europlasma: "This pan-European
project would not have been possible without the resolve of Agnès
Pannier-Runacher, Deputy Minister at the Minister for the Economy,
the professionalism of the teams at the Ministry of the Economy and
Finance, the commitment of Laurent Wauquiez, President of the
Regional Council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Olivier Bianchi,
President of Clermont Auvergne Métropole, and the support of Pierre
Vannineuse and Hugo Pingray, co-founders of Alpha Blue Ocean."
The State and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region will contribute
7.5 million euros. Additionally, the State will provide 15 million
euros in debt financing. The region will offer support to Les
Forges de Gerzat through its expertise in the field of training and
professionalization. Finally, the Clermont Auvergne Métropole is
committed to providing 34 million euros in financing for the land
and the construction of an ergonomic industrial building.
Created in 2017, Alpha Blue Ocean is a pioneer and leading
stakeholder in alternative finance in Europe and worldwide,
particularly in the medical innovation sector. Over a four-year
period, the group founded by Pierre Vannineuse has committed to
over €1.5 bn in financial engagements, with 60% invested in the
Health and Innovation Sectors.
