OpenGate Capital , a global private equity firm, announced today that its portfolio company, SMAC, a leading French provider of waterproofing and building envelope solutions, has completed the full exit of its manufacturing division, Industrie, with the sale of its Resins business unit to MAPEI, an Italian leader in the production of adhesives and chemical products for the building industry. The Resins business unit includes resin manufacturer, Resipoly and Services, and installation specialist, Eurosyntec. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

All three businesses were held under SMAC’s manufacturing division, Industrie.
Julien Lagrèze, OpenGate Capital’s Partner and Head of Europe commented, “The sale of the final division within Industrie is fully in line with our original investment thesis for SMAC. We are pleased to have partnered with MAPEI on this transaction and remain enthusiastic regarding the trajectory of SMAC and its continued strong performance under a more targeted product offering.”
