Tikehau negotiates to enter MatHolding's capital as a minority partner
The entry of the French fund would be intended to finance the purchase of the Israeli giant Netafim.
Tikehau Capital, a French private equity firm, is in talks to become a minority shareholder in Spanish industrial group MatHolding, which specializes in agricultural technology and crop protection. The investment would help finance MatHolding's potential acquisition of Israeli company Netafim, a leader in drip irrigation systems, valued at over $1,000 million.
MatHolding reported record results in 2025, with €429 million in revenue and €65 million in EBITDA. The company's shareholder structure is currently dominated by the Matosas family, with Pau Relat as president. Tikehau Capital has €53.5 billion in assets under management and has invested around €2,000 million in Spain since 2017.
