Overview

Neopar was founded in 2014 by François-Denis Poitrinal, who had earlier built a group of industrial companies with personal capital from 2005. It describes itself as a family-capital investment company specialised in acquisitions and turnarounds, investing €0.5–4M per deal in equity or convertible bonds and remaining majority shareholder. Current and past holdings listed on its site include Mathon, Controlab Technologies, SN Roxlor, Nextroad and Guénifey. In 2025 it led, with 51%, a consortium bidding for Le Coq Sportif; in July 2025 the Paris court chose a rival offer.
