PRESS RELEASE
Englos, September 11, 2025
Enygea, a French leader in the field of mobile and temporary sanitary equipment for construction sites and events, has completed a second round of financing with its long-standing shareholder GENEO Capital Entrepreneur, via its GENEO Mezzanine fund, and Crédit Mutuel Equity, which has acquired a stake.
This new operation will enable Enygea to accelerate its development in Eastern Europe through the acquisition of Johnny Servis, a Czech company operating in the same market segment. The French group is now present in three new countries, mainly the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria, in addition to the seven countries in which it is already present: France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal and Canada. Further acquisitions are under discussion.
Founded in 2007 in Englos (59) and chaired by Hervé Montagne, the Enygea group achieves consolidated sales of €130 million, and has passed the 1,000-employee mark following this acquisition.
Backed by 9 expert brands, the oldest of which is WC Loc, Enygea enjoys a strong reputation and a dense network of 119 locations, nearly half of them in France. Enygea's rental business is based on a range of services that include not only delivery, but also collection of equipment and emptying, cleaning and restocking of sanitary facilities, cleaning of living quarters, and management of drinking water and wastewater at temporary sites, as well as a range of innovative products.
Historically positioned in the construction market, Enygea has gradually diversified into the events market, in particular major events such as the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, tripling its sales since the health crisis.
This momentum continued after the 2024 Olympic Games, with double-digit growth in the French market, thanks to the leadership of its WC Loc and Happee Services sanitaryware brands, a diversification of its ranges but also through two local acquisitions. In Europe, the recent acquisition of Johnny Servis, a Czech player in mobile toilet rental, with 130 employees and sales of €14 million in 2024, reinforces this growth. To support its international expansion, the Enygea Group is acquiring new skills, notably with the arrival of Hervé Baillieul, Managing Director International. His ambition is to achieve sales of €150 million within 3 years, 50% of which will be generated outside France.
In addition, over the past three years, working alongside GENEO, the company has made a stronger commitment to a sustainable performance trajectory incorporating water savings, dry toilet design, resource reclamation, a 30% reduction in its carbon impact by 2030, and inclusion, with a range of products dedicated to people with reduced mobility. Enygea also supports Made In France, by investing heavily in its SWITTEC production facility, based in Northern France, and in its French R&D.
Finally, Enygea stands out for its highly entrepreneurial governance. Hervé Montagne holds three-quarters of the capital. Historically, 50 managers have held a 7% stake in the company's growth project, which has led the company to take a new step by setting up a corporate mutual fund (FCPE) accessible to all employees, in line with a management culture based on trust and shared values.
" GENEO, which has been with us since 2022 as a demanding partner, particularly in the structuring of our impact strategy, remains part of the adventure alongside a new investor, Crédit Mutuel Equity. In addition to this round of financing, SG Crédit du Nord has arranged senior debt to give us the means to achieve our 3-year ambitions. Our mission remains, more than ever, to contribute to hygiene everywhere and for everyone", explains Hervé Montagne, Chairman of Enygea.
" We are proud to support Hervé Montagne and his teams in this new phase of European transformation, which promises strong synergies. Enygea is the embodiment of responsible, bold growth, capable of combining high operational standards with ambitions for impact, adds Mathilde Paoli, Managing Partner at GENEO Capital Entrepreneur.
"Enygea's positioning, with a market share of around 50% in France, its recognized quality of service and its expertise in external growth, all militated in favor of our commitment to Hervé Montagne and his teams. The purpose of our investment is not only to finance Enygea's development in Eastern Europe, but also to support the group in its future development, through a strategy of external growth and the continued expansion of its service offering", emphasizes Mathieu Sollet, Investment Director at Crédit Mutuel Equity.
