July 2007
MML Capital Partners ("MML"), the mezzanine and private equity firm, announces that it has joined the finance group supporting Banexi Capital Partenaires, investing EUR 3.4 million of warranted mezzanine and EUR 3.4 million of equity for the LBO of France Géothermie. This is the fourth investment from MML's fourth fund.
France Géothermie is one of the French leaders active in the design, assembly and sale of heating systems: the geothermic and aerothermic heat pump systems. This technology is strongly developing in France, following the growth trend experienced
in other countries (such as Sweden or Switzerland). These systems use the free energy in the ground or in the air for heating reducing energy consumption and generating significant savings.
