Perwyn, a European private equity player, has made a significant investment in diamond dealer Rubel and Ménasché alongside the management team with a view to accelerating the company’s growth.
Founded in 1956 and located on Rue de la Paix in Paris, Rubel and Ménasché has experienced sustained growth over the past few years. With the support of Perwyn, Rubel and Ménasché plan to take new steps in its development.
The operation is a continuation of the first phase of transfer orchestrated in 2019 with the entry of Axio Capital, which allowed Stephan Wolzok, president of Rubel and Ménasché, to take a significant part of the capital. With the new investment, the management team is further strengthening its position.
Wolzok said: “We are excited about the prospects that this new collaboration opens up. The arrival of Perwyn, under the direction of Mathieu Antonini, marks a strategic turning point for the company.
“Together, we are determined to continue our expansion and strengthen our positions by offering an ever-expanding range of services in the future in order to push our identity even further. This strategic transition is the result of a shared vision for ‘beautiful things’ and reflects our ongoing commitment to quality and transparency, ensuring constant added value for our customers and partners.”
He added: “We are the third way…the one that combines craft tradition with technology, the one that combines authenticity with innovation. Every day, we reevaluate our standards in order to aim for the excellence that characterises us so much.”
Mathieu Antonini, head of France at Perwyn, added: “We are delighted to become the reference financial partner of Rubel and Ménasché. With its remarkable management team, our objective is to strengthen Rubel and Ménasché’s position in the high-end jewellery and watchmaking sector, while exploring new opportunities to enrich its services and geographical expansion. We look forward to working closely with Stephan Wolzok and the team at Rubel and Ménasché.”
