Thilo Sautter, head of the German private equity practice at Investcorp, said, 'We are delighted with the sale of APCOA to Eurazeo, after having led the successful transformation of APCOA to the leading European car park operator. Eurazeo is an excellent shareholder for APCOA and will provide APCOA with the necessary resources to continue the international expansion and support the growth strategy initiated under Investcorp's stewardship.'
Patrick Sayer, chairman of the Eurazeo executive board, said, 'We are delighted to have reached an agreement to acquire APCOA, which demonstrates our ability to carry out large transactions outside France. This investment confirms our interest in the German market, where APCOA is the leading operator.'
