Industrial gases supplier Air Liquide has completed its divestiture of its business activities in 12 African countries to investment firm Adenia Partners Ltd., the French company announced July 23.
The transaction represents total annual sales of approximately 60 million euros (US$65.12 million), which is less than 10% of Air Liquide’s sales in Africa, according to the company’s March 14 release.
The activities are sold in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Madagascar, Mali, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal and Togo.
Adenia, which has invested in projects in Africa for over 20 years, plans to invest up to 30 million euros (US$32.56 million) to accelerate the activities’ developments.
