LACROIX announces the final sale
of the City-Mobility segment

LACROIX announces that it has finalized the sale of its City-Mobility segment to the SWARCO Group. The two companies had entered into exclusive negotiations on December 12, 2024. The sale has taken effect on February 28, 2025.

This divestment reflects LACROIX's intention to focus on group’s businesses that present strong technological synergies to achieve its ambition of becoming a global leader in industrial IoT solutions and electronic equipment for critical applications.

SWARCO's proven track record and reputation in the ITS industry (Intelligent Transport System) were decisive factors in the choice of this buyer. The activities of SWARCO, a world leader in mobility solutions (traffic management, road marking, etc.), are highly complementary with the City-Mobility segment in geographical, technological and commercial terms, offering great opportunities for development and synergies.

The City-Mobility segment includes Traffic and V2X business units, which accounted for a €30.8 million revenue in 2024, or 4.6% of LACROIX revenue. It employed 122 people across the French sites of Carros (Alpes Maritimes), Ploufragan (Côtes d'Armor) and Cesson (Ille-et-Vilaine), as well as the Spanish site in Madrid.

As a reminder, this City-Mobility segment was treated in the financial statements as a "Discontinued operation” in fiscal 2024.
