TRAIL announces the sale of the participation held by the Value TRAIL fund in LVO Group, an international freight forwarding group.
This transaction marks the first exit of the Value TRAIL fund, a key milestone illustrating TRAIL’s value creation strategy alongside ambitious entrepreneurial management teams.
An exceptional growth trajectory since 2022
Since Value TRAIL acquired a stake in LVO Group in 2022, the Group has experienced remarkable growth, completing 12 acquisitions across 11 countries, thereby doubling its size within three years.
This trajectory is driven by a highly differentiated positioning on North–South trade lanes and by high value-added logistics expertise, particularly in the pharmaceutical, temperature-controlled transport, and industrial projects segments.
Significant operational value creation
Over the investment period, the Group’s EBITDA increased from approximately €20 million to nearly €50 million, reflecting the strength of operational execution, disciplined M&A strategy, and the robustness of the development model led by management.
A high-quality partnership
TRAIL extends its sincere thanks to the management team of LVO Group, as well as to all co-investors – MML Capital Partners, Bpifrance, and BNP Paribas Développement – for the quality of the partnership throughout this journey.
This transaction fully reflects TRAIL’s DNA: supporting ambitious entrepreneurial teams and building international leaders in their respective markets.
