Joffe & Associés (Virginie Belle & Rémi Rodriguez) is advising Seb Alliance, Groupe SEB’s investment fund, and Socadif, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Ile-de-France, on their investment in Kuantom, the creator of an innovative cocktail solution generating revenues of almost €5m.
French start-up Kuantom recently raised a significant €5 million in a combination of equity and debt, backed by SEB Alliance, the SEB Group’s investment fund, and SOCADIF, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Île-de-France. This round of financing will enable Kuantom to step up production and marketing of its machines and solutions, designed for the CHR (cafés, hotels, restaurants) sector. SEB Alliance and SOCADIF are playing a strategic role in supporting Kuantom’s expansion, in particular by strengthening its industrial capacity.
SEB Alliance, known for its targeted investment in innovation, sees in Kuantom an opportunity to diversify into the professional market, already marked by acquisitions such as WMF (coffee machines) and Pacojet (emulsifiers). SOCADIF, for its part, relies on promising local initiatives; by joining forces with Kuantom, these two investors intend to promote French know-how while supporting more responsible production, mainly located in France.
Thanks to this joint investment, Kuantom will not only be able to expand its customer network in the hospitality sector, but also improve its technology and ecological footprint. The synergy between SEB’s industrial expertise and SOCADIF’s institutional support provides Kuantom with a solid foundation to position itself as a market leader in connected cocktail solutions.
