Jeantet has advised the DCC Group on its acquisition of Gaz Européen closed on 31 January 2017, from its founders and managers and investment funds Activa Capital and Paluel-Marmont Capital.

With this acquisition, the DCC group has become an actor in the natural gas market for professionals in France. Thanks to this transaction, the French company Gaz Européen strengthens its service offering, to its 500.000 co-owners and customers and its 10.000 sites supplied in France.
