spine surgical instruments. OURY-GUYE is a member of the French Fab and is a French Living Heritage
Company (E.P.V.). Customers include the largest orthopedics groups in France and beyond.
The transaction marks a new stage for the company founded in 1909. With the support of its new
shareholders, OURY-GUYE's main objective will be to create a center of excellence in orthopedic and
spine instrumentation in France.
Christian Oury, President of OURY-GUYE, stated: "this acquisition is a natural extension of our desire to
continue to offer a strong partnership to our customers. It comes at an important time for our company,
when it is instrumental for its future to unite and perform: OURY-GUYE's DNA. I fully trust the new
shareholders to pursue and succeed in this ambitious project.”
Georges-Alexandre Ancenys, Managing Partner at SPE Capital, commented: "we are delighted to
support the development of OURY-GUYE, a century-old company with strong business expertise, so that
it can further meet the needs of its customers. This will be achieved by increasing the volume of existing
products and offering a more complete range, through acquisitions of complementary know-how in a
still highly fragmented market. We are pleased and honored to join forces with Christian Oury, a
strengthened management team, and all our employees to write this new chapter of OURY-GUYE's
history together.”
The investment in OURY-GUYE is emblematic of the small-cap initiative at SPE France, as it is (i) a
primary transaction, alongside a strengthened management team, to accelerate the company's
development; (ii) a high growth and highly fragmented sector offering external growth opportunities to
expand the product portfolio; and (iii) an ambitious transformation and growth project, in particular
through the upgrading of its industrial facilities, the digitalization of its operations and the strengthening
of the management team.
