Pam Building : IT carve-out

Find out how Netsystem’s IT M&A experts supported Pam Building with its IT carve-out following the sale of the business by Saint-Gobain.

Context & objectives

Pam Building is an industrial company that designs, manufactures and markets cast iron pipes for drainage, domestic water and rainwater systems in buildings.

With 400 employees and a turnover of €110 million, the company has two production sites (in France and England) and its products are distributed in 50 countries worldwide. ​

In partnership with BPI France, the Aldebaran Capital Partners fund acquired this business from the Saint-Gobain Group and became a shareholder at the end of 2024.​

Like other support functions, Pam Building’s IT system is entirely dependent on the group: an IT carve-out must therefore be carried out to make Pam Building self-sufficient and fully independent.​
