Kramer Levin Advises Bollé Brands in the Sale of Cébé
Kramer Levin advised Bollé Brands in the sale of Cébé to D.MO and RACER. Founded in 1892 in the Jura region, Cébé is a pioneer in sports eyewear. In the 130 years since its founding, Cébé has earned a reputation for producing stylish, technically advanced, high-quality sport performance sunglasses, ski goggles and helmets. Since joining the Bollé Brands Group in 2009, Cébé's reputation has been enhanced by continued investment in innovation and its strong partnerships with renowned athletes, most recently Francois D'Haene, the record-breaking four-time winner of the men's title at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc.
D.MO specializes in project management and industrialization of products in the outdoor world, and its executive team of Sébastien Delsaux and Maxime Bos are former employees of Cébé. RACER is a French entity created in 1927 that has expertise in manufacturing gloves and protective equipment. D.MO and RACER have joined forces to buy Cébé, with RACER's historical finance partners, Upperside Capital Partners and 123 IM, supporting the acquisition.
