Information on the Target

Founded over 130 years ago, Rossignol is a key subsidiary of Groupe M53 and has established itself as a leading player in the French urban furniture and hygiene market. Since 2017, the company's management team—led by Joël Bresteaux, Eric Fayol, and Jean-Christophe Pascual—has expanded the group's capabilities by integrating two small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the west of France, Buton Industries and Lebeau Moulages Béton.
