Bolloré Energy strengthens its relationship with the agricultural sector
Puteaux. 26 April 2023
On 28 April 2023, Bolloré Energy signed a contract to purchase from the Eureden Cooperative 100% of the shares in Sicarbu Ouest, its subsidiary specialised in the distribution of petroleum products. Acquiring this entity will allow Bolloré Energy to offer, among other things, its low-carbon solutions to new customers and thus help to decarbonise their activities. This acquisition is subject to prior authorisation from the French Competition Authority.
Hakim Britel
Director of Bolloré Energy
Through this acquisition, we wish to contribute to the development of Sicarbu Ouest, by enabling it to draw on the strength of a national network. Sicarbu Ouest will obviously continue to supply fuels to Eureden members. We welcome this acquisition, which strengthens our ties with the agricultural sector. We also have the firm ambition to deploy our distribution strategy for low-carbon products on the Sicarbu Ouest sites, in order to make this subsidiary an ambassador of the energy transition for its customers,
