A Fast-Growing Breton SME Thanks to a Differentiated Market Position
Founded in 1983 and based in Plérin, in the Côtes-d’Armor region, BEB is a specialist in the sale, rental, and maintenance of industrial energy production equipment: generators, industrial engines, compressors, and lighting masts.
The company has built a broad range of complementary products and services that meet the diverse needs of its clients (industry, healthcare, agriculture, events, etc.), ensuring continuity of energy supply—a critical issue for many economic players today.
Thanks to its well-defined market positioning—rooted in deep technical expertise combined with top-tier responsiveness to client needs—BEB has established itself as the regional market leader. The company covers the entire Brittany region and extends into neighboring areas through four strategic locations (Plérin, Brest, Rennes, and Lorient).
A Business Transfer at the Core of AXIO’s Expertise
BEB called on AXIO to organize both the operational and equity transition of the company. AXIO structured a majority MBO operation, fully aligned with its strategic approach. As part of the transaction, Samuelle Beguec, BEB’s long-time leader, advised by Otoktone Mergers & Acquisitions, is handing over the reins to Mickaël Rodriguez, his right-hand man for the past 10 years, while reinvesting significantly alongside him.
This new chapter in BEB’s history, which ensures the continuity of a strong corporate culture, is supported by long-standing banking partners CIC and BPGO.
Numerous Development Projects in a High-Potential Market
BEB’s ambition is clear: to become the leading provider of autonomous energy production solutions in the Greater West of France, a rapidly growing market driven by increasing demand.
To achieve this, the company will activate several growth levers through a mixed strategy—continuing to develop its historical core business while diversifying into new services and opening additional branches.
BEB has many assets to achieve its goals and will be able to rely on the support of its new majority shareholder in implementing its growth plan.
