Ardian's Kersia buys Champlain-backed Choisy Laboratories
Kersia has acquired Choisy Laboratories Ltd, a Louisville, Québec-based developer and maker of chemical, biotechnological and biosecurity hygiene solutions, for an undisclosed amount. The sellers were the Trudeau family and Champlain Financial Corp, a Canadian private equity firm. Champlain invested in 2015. Founded in 1946 by President and CEO Guy Trudeau, Choisy is primarily active in the food service and hospitality market segments in Canada and Europe. Kersia, a Dinard, France-based biosecurity and food safety company, said the acquisition grows its footprint in North America. The transaction was completed with the support of French private equity firm Ardian, which acquired Kersia in 2016.
