VALTO ACCELERATES ITS GROWTH WITH THE SUPPORT OF EURAZEO

Eurazeo joins Valto, a leading player in regulatory training for risk prevention and skills development, as a lender supporting the company’s growth and its strategy to consolidate the sector of regulated professional training.

This transaction marks a new, structuring milestone for Valto. Founded in 2024, Valto has become, in less than two years and with the support of Builders Associés, a family office of entrepreneurs, a benchmark in occupational health and safety training, aimed at strengthening employee protection against workplace accident risks.

Eurazeo’s financing will be used to further accelerate external growth, support the group’s scale‑up, and facilitate the integration of recent acquisitions such as Optima Prévention, a risk‑prevention specialist, and CONFORM, which focuses on working-at-height and scaffolding training.

Through the acquisition and integration of these companies, Valto strengthens its expertise, expands its geographic footprint, and consolidates its model: a structured national platform capable of preserving the local presence and operational autonomy of training centres, unlocking their next phase of growth, while providing them with the strength and efficiency of a well‑organised and digitalised group

The group generated around €30 million in revenue in 2025 and now supports more than 9,000 clients and 80,000 learners each year, thanks to its extensive nationwide footprint comprising 13 companies and 16 training centres. Its portfolio covers the full spectrum of regulated training programmes, including CACES, working-at-height training, electrical and mechanical authorisations, workplace first aid, fire safety, private security, and more.

This transaction aligns with Eurazeo’s ongoing strategy of supporting high‑growth, innovative European companies committed to transforming their sectors.

Jean-Baptiste Bouvier and Valérian Fleury, cofounders of Valto, declared : 

“Eurazeo’s support marks a pivotal milestone for Valto. We share the same ambition: to build the leader in regulated training while preserving the identity of the training centres that join us. This partnership will enable us to accelerate our growth, invest in innovation, and strengthen our impact on both companies and learners.”

Maxime de Roquette Buisson, Partner in Eurazeo’s Private Debt team added :

“Valto occupies a unique position in a market driven by the growing importance of workplace prevention and safety. We are delighted to support the team in its expansion, having demonstrated a remarkable ability to rapidly and effectively integrate well‑established regional players.”
