Founded in 1908, Visco is based near Montargis. It specializes in the design, development and manufacture of complex, high value-added parts and sub-assemblies.

Carvest relies on a team of professionals based in the regions (Lyon, Orléans, Dijon, Strasbourg and Reims).

In the aeronautics and defense fields, Tikehau Investment Management has built its model on partnerships with major groups investing in its funds (notably Airbus, Safran, Dassault Aviation, Thales, EDF, Naval Group, Sopra Steria). Expert in these sectors and endowed with a strong entrepreneurial and industrial culture, Tikehau Investment Management supports the development of its participating interests in the long term with a differentiated strategy. Tikehau Investment Management is backed by the worldwide presence of Tikehau Capital.
