Kingspan – Bacacier group acquired on March 18 the remaining 50% of the capital of SAS Dome Solar, and thus now holds 100% of the capital.

After the Bacacier group took a 50% stake in July 2018, the company Dome Solar announces signature of an agreement allowing the Kingspan – Bacacier group to obtain the remaining 50%.

By choosing to consolidate the introduction of the group Kingspan – Bacacier within the capital of Dome Solar, Jean-Philippe LERAY, Chairman of SAS, intends to strengthen the company’s leadership position on the French market but also to accentuate its international presence.

This opportunity will bring a new dimension to the company and will consolidate its position with all players in the solar photovoltaic market. By becoming a 100% subsidiary of the group Kingspan – Bacacier, Dome Solar thus confirms its stability and its positioning in a rapidly growing market.

This is the story of a metting on a common project in which our employees and clients will be the players. This new step will allow us to respond to market requirements and to the strong activity of our customers who, of course, retain all of the company’s contacts. We now have all the qualities of a large company while retaining our SME heart.
