“We’re grateful to Rubis’ pivotal role in shaping our corporate identity, nurturing our entrepreneurial culture, and propelling our success thus far. The 4 years that have elapsed since I Squared Capital acquired an equity stake in Rubis Terminal have allowed us to implement a strategy of diversification and geographic expansion. We’re confident and enthusiastic that this move will further accelerate our ambitious energy transition projects, advancing our mission of sustainable storage for everyday life.”

For Rubis, this sale is the opportunity to crystalize the value generated. It is neatly aligned with the Group’s strategy implemented since 2021 to increase its returns by developing its Energy Distribution business while focusing its investments on Renewable Energy Production.
