Franklin advises Sprint on acquisition of SEBP

The Sprint Group continues its growth trajectory by acquiring and integrating into its production chain the business and assets of its post-press contractor SEBP. Sprint’s bid, which was approved by the Commercial Court in Bobigny on May 11, 2022, allows SEBP to continue as a going concern and saves jobs at its production site in Seine-Saint-Denis.

Founded in 1975, SEBP is a binding and advertising company that performs the finishing operations of the printing process. Struggling mainly from the fallout from Covid-19, SEBP filed for court-supervised reorganization on January 27, 2022, and a call for bids ensued.

Keen to bring production in-house and integrate new skills, the Sprint Group was prompt to express an interest.

This acquisition, Sprint’s 20^th since 2011 (5 of which were completed under court supervision), enables SEBP to maintain its workforce and continue to serve its long-standing clients.

Sprint was advised by Franklin partner Numa Rengot, assisted by associates Fanny Attal and Emilie Gassier.

The firm SELARL AJRS (Catherine Poli and Clémence Bellemin) served as court-appointed trustee.

The firm Egide (Alix Brenac) served as court-appointed creditors’ representative.

SEBP was advised by the firm PDT (Pascaline Ducos-Tayon).
