Montyon Capital

Montyon Capital is a French private equity firm that specializes in investing in high-potential small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-cap industrial companies. The firm focuses on businesses facing complex situations such as ownership transmission, divestitures, leveraged buyouts (LBOs), turnarounds, and other special situations. Montyon Capital aims to transform potential into tangible value by activating operational and financial levers alongside management teams, with a focus on creating sustainable value and accelerating growth, international expansion, and transformation.

Founded in 2024, Montyon Capital operates as an independent investment platform. The firm is anchored by a prominent Swiss industrial family, providing it with a flexible investment model and deep industrial expertise. Key figures in the firm include co-founders Pierre Ménard and Pascal Lebard, who bring experienced investment and operational backgrounds to the team.

Montyon Capital has built a portfolio of industrial companies. Notable investments include Caillau, a French company specializing in high-performance fastening systems for the automotive, industrial, aerospace, and photovoltaic sectors. Another significant investment is in Groupe Mathevon, which designs and manufactures complex metallic components for the energy (oil, gas, nuclear) and shipbuilding industries. The firm has also recently acquired Trigo, a quality management provider serving the transportation sector, including automotive, aerospace, and rail industries.

The firm's team of experienced investors and operational professionals is based in Paris, France. They partner closely with management teams to unlock opportunities and deliver tailored, value-creating solutions, particularly in carve-outs, sector transitions, and off-thesis assets. Montyon Capital targets profitable businesses with over €100 million in revenue, often focusing on segments overlooked by traditional investors due to structural complexity or temporary inefficiencies.
