OpenGate Capital , a global private equity firm, today announced the signing of an exclusive agreement to sell Bois & Matériaux (“B&M”), a French building products distributor, to Chausson Matériaux, a major building materials distribution company.

OpenGate Founder and CEO Andrew Nikou said, “This agreement marks an important juncture in the evolution of B&M and sets up the business for a new phase of growth. It has been great to work with the team at B&M and CEO Yves Martin, and I look forward to witnessing the continued momentum under Chausson’s ownership.”
Chausson Matériaux is acquiring B&M as part of its strategy to enhance their building materials product offerings in France. Chausson Matériaux was founded in 1921, is headquartered in Toulouse, France, and distributes building materials including heavy-side, roofing, wood, insulation, tiling, tools, and hardware throughout France.
