LPA Law with Partner Michael Samol advised FairCap, the pan-European investment fund with offices in Munich and Milan, on the signing of a put option agreement for the entire share capital of Flauraud, a historic player in the distribution of automotive spare parts in France, from Emil Frey France.

Founded in 1932 and headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, Flauraud currently employs 363 people and operates a network of 27 stores across France. A subsidiary of Emil Frey France since 2016, the company has benefited from significant investments aimed at modernizing its logistics platform and transforming its distribution network.

Through this transaction, FairCap intends to embark on a new stage of Flauraud’s development. The fund will define a strategic roadmap to support the company’s growth and strengthen its position in the evolving automotive parts market.
Emil Frey France, the leading automotive distributor in France, will continue to support Flauraud after the sale, maintaining existing synergies and ensuring continuity of services for the company’s clients and partners.
