Aroma-Zone stake sale to Partners Group under negotiation

French investment firm Eurazeo has entered exclusive negotiations with Swiss private‑equity group Partners Group to sell its participation in natural‑cosmetics manufacturer Aroma‑Zone. The proposed transaction, valued at roughly €2 billion, would give Partners Group a majority holding on behalf of its clients, while Eurazeo Capital V would reinvest alongside. Eurazeo said the deal could generate about €576 million of gross product for its balance sheet. The sale remains subject to regulatory clearances, staff consultation and competition‑authority approval. Aroma‑Zone, founded over 20 years ago in Provence, continues to be partly owned by the founding Vausselin family, which remains a significant shareholder.
