TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR EXECUTIVES

Although we didn’t wait for the advent of CSR to take initiatives in terms of quality of life at work or environmental protection, we feel it has become essential to structure an approach that not only gives us objectives and guidelines, but above all raises awareness and involves our employees. In our view, CSR is a marvellous opportunity to unite all our teams around a common, responsible and ambitious transformation project, at the service of society and the communities to which we belong.

François Hénin and François Tortel, CO-CEO

Being a growing key player in the professional kitchen ventilation market, we needed an industrial showcase to match our ambitions. We appealed to our investors to allow us to make this move, despite the risks it might entail for our business, and quickly found a favorable response from Nord Capital Partenaires. We were thus able to rethink and reorganize our flows and processes, invest in machinery offering us new prospects in terms of innovation and production capacity, and above all improve the quality of working life for our employees. Embracing the constraints, but also the opportunities, linked to ecological transitions was an obvious choice. Our great pride, shared with and by our investors, is that 100% of our workshop staff are still present in this new plant and have contributed to maintaining our growth during this period.

D. Van Litsenborgh, President, ALVENE

We are delighted that REV3 CAPITAL has followed LMK’s development in 2019 by investing alongside us, as this was a strategic turning point for our company. It’s an industrial adventure that requires major investments, essential for the launch of a new production chain for high-energy density wood fuels. Initially supported by other regional funds (Finorpa, IRD), it was important for us to find a financial partner capable of bringing together a new round of financing that would enable us to realize our ambition. The impact of our project will be very significant, particularly in the production of high energy density fuels (biofuels, hydrogen). We are a family business on a human scale, with a development project worthy of a major group, and our challenges for the future lie in our ability to structure the company in order to achieve industrial scale-up.

Franck LAVARDE, Founding CEO of LMK

We are delighted that CAP 3RI is backing us with equity capital at this decisive stage for the Group. This is an extraordinary industrial adventure, requiring major investments that will enable us to become a fully integrated player in line with market expectations. The impact on the local economy is significant, with 345 direct jobs and a considerable number of subcontracting partners, particularly in regional transport. Our vision is that of a family business that places its employees at the heart of its project, in an environment where it is necessary to reach a significant critical size to ensure the long-term viability of its business model.

Henri BRÉBAN, CEO of BE PAPER

Since the creation of Ecodrop, we have developed a service platform that meets the essential needs of renovation sites. Digital technology has enabled us to reach a wide-ranging target that is far removed from traditional waste management solutions, and we have dissuaded a number of players from the temptation of unauthorized garbage dumping. Thanks to this fund-raising, we are entering a phase of acceleration, and taking on the responsibility of accompanying the sector’s transformation towards the circular economy.

Marie COMBARIEU, CEO of ECODROP

Our discussions with the Turenne Hôtellerie team have been very constructive during our quarterly business reviews: we feel that the team listens carefully to us and keeps a close eye on our development projects.

Denis Pierrel, Manager Mercure Lille Métropole

By creating Human & Work with the Turenne Group teams, we have succeeded in building the French leader in psychological health at work. For an entrepreneur, working with Turenne is an experience that gives you the means to imagine a project and realize it beyond all expectations.

David Mahé, Président, Human & Work

When I arrived at Link Group, there were 10 of us, today there are 100, we’ve created 90 jobs, and that would have been impossible without financial support! The Turenne Group teams share our vision of development and support us.

Pascal Wespiser, Président, Link Group

The Astradec group has grown rapidly through acquisitions. It became important for us to strengthen our position in order to pursue our development strategy. CAP 3RI’s support and positioning in the circular economy are in line with our vision of the waste recovery market.

Eric Bee, President, Astradec
