Jeantet advises Smac on the acquisition of Avenir Métal and SN Alt’O
Paris, December 12, 2025 – Jeantet advised the Smac group on the acquisition of the entire share capital of Avenir Métal and SN Alt’O, two companies specializing in roof renovation and maintenance, with combined revenues of approximately €15 million.
This external growth operation is part of the build-up strategy pursued by Smac since Compagnie Financière Jousset acquired a stake in the company, with the aim of achieving €1 billion in revenue by 2030. Following an initial acquisition in the summer of 2025, Smac is now completing two new operations aimed at strengthening its regional presence.
Founded in 1997 and 1998 respectively, Avenir Métal and SN Alt’O are based in Isère and mainly work on behalf of industrial companies and public institutions, with recognized expertise in managing construction sites in occupied environments. Their merger with Smac will enable the group to consolidate its position in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and continue its development in the strategic renovation segment, particularly in the energy sector.
Chaired by Franck Davoine, Smac has a turnover of €525 million and employs around 2,400 people in 67 establishments in France and internationally, notably in Spain, Morocco, and Chile.
The Jeantet team advising on this transaction consisted of Maxime Brotz and Pak-Hang Li for corporate matters.
