Wallys Car, le constructeur automobile tunisien et Ekuity Capital (anciennement CTKD), annoncent aujourd’hui, mardi 11 juin 2019, avoir bouclé une levée de fonds de 10 millions de dinars tunisiens (MDT). Portés par une vision commune de l’automobile, Wallys Car et Ekuity Capital ont décidé de s’associer afin de poursuivre ensemble le développement du constructeur. Depuis sa création en 2006, Wallys Car associe le savoir-faire et l’audace entrepreneuriale. L’entreprise est le premier constructeur automobile arabe et africain à exporter ses véhicules en Europe. Il exporte également ses véhicules vers les pays du Moyen-Orient et plus particulièrement vers les pays du bassin méditerranéen. Pensée par son duo fondateur Zied et Omar Guiga, l’entreprise est le symbole d’une génération de constructeurs automobiles exclusifs et atypiques. Les deux entreprises ont décidé de s’associer afin de permettre à Wallys Car d’accélérer le développement de ses modèles et de son réseau de distribution national et international. «Wallys Car et Ekuity Capital partagent les mêmes valeurs: un esprit entrepreneurial qui donne la priorité à la création de valeur à long terme. Nous sommes heureux de bénéficier du soutien d’Ekuity Capital. Leur appui sera précieux pour poursuivre notre stratégie de développement», a déclaré Omar Guiga, Pdg de Wallys Car. Ekuity Capital, créée en 1976 afin de promouvoir le secteur de l’hôtellerie et du tourisme tunisien, est actuellement l’une des plus grandes institutions d’investissement diversifiées en Tunisie dont l’objectif premier est de créer de la valeur en développant des actifs à long terme, en encourageant activement les entreprises à réaliser des investissements générateurs de croissance organique et de rentabilité, et en accompagnant leurs acquisitions. Ekuity Capital détient actuellement des participations dans un portefeuille de plus de 20 sociétés en Tunisie.
Tustex apprend que la société d’investissement Tuniso-Koweitienne, Ekuity Capital (ex-CTKD), vient de finaliser une prise de participation par augmentation de capital de la société AZIZA de Commerce de Détail (groupe Slama). A l’issue de cette transaction, Ekuity Capital détiendra 11,24% du capital de la société. L’opération a vu également l’acquisition d’une participation par le fonds d’investissement espagnol Mediterrania Capital Partners (MCP), à travers son fonds MC III. La chaine de magasins AZIZA, fondée en 2014 et dirigée par Ghassen Slama, a vu le nombre de ses points de vente passer à 250 en cinq ans avec une superficie totale de vente de plus de 70.000 m² répartis sur tout le territoire tunisien, ce qui en fait un acteur majeur de la grande distribution en Tunisie. La chaine de magasins AZIZA, qui compte plus de 2.000 employés, se positionne sur le marché avec un concept unique de discount avec des magasins de proximité proposant des produits de qualité à prix bas. L’entrée au capital de AZIZA de Ekuity Capital et de MCP a pour objectifs d’accompagner l’expansion de la chaine, d’optimiser ses opérations et d’améliorer ses performances. « Nous sommes ravis d’accueillir Ekuity Capital et MCP en tant qu’investisseurs dans la société Aziza. Nous partageons tous les mêmes valeurs : un esprit entrepreneurial qui donne la priorité à la création de valeur à long terme. Leur appui va contribuer à poursuivre notre stratégie de développement tout en continuant à fournir des produits de haute qualité aux meilleurs prix partout en Tunisie.», a déclaré Ghassen Slama, fondateur et PDG de Aziza. Hichem Ben Hmida, Directeur au sein de la direction des investissements de Ekuity Capital, a ajouté : « Aziza a réussi à mettre en place un concept unique sur le marché tunisien avec l’introduction de la première chaine de Discount. Grâce aux compétences de l’équipe et de l’organisation de Aziza, cette dernière a réalisé un développement impressionnant depuis sa création en 2014 avec l’ouverture de 250 magasins sur tout le territoire tunisien. Nous sommes très heureux de nous associer avec les équipes de Aziza et de MCP afin d’accompagner le développement du réseau de la société Aziza, ce qui aura un impact positif sur le marché et l’économie tunisienne. » À propos de Ekuity Capital: Ekuity Capital, créée en 1976 afin de promouvoir le secteur de l’hôtellerie et du tourisme tunisien, est actuellement l’une des plus grandes institutions d’investissement diversifiées en Tunisie dont l’objectif premier est de créer de la valeur en développant des actifs à long terme, en encourageant activement les entreprises à réaliser des investissements générateurs de croissance organique et de rentabilité, et en accompagnant leurs acquisitions.

Le Consortium Tuniso-Koweitien de développement (CTKD), a organisé le 19 mars, un point de presse consacré à la présentation de sa nouvelle identité, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’évolution de sa vision et de sa stratégie d’investissement en Tunisie, en l’occurrence une ouverture vers des secteurs autres que son activité historique, à savoir le tourisme, qui a raflé depuis sa création en 1976, la majorité de ses investissements. La rencontre s’est déroulée en présence du président du consortium Humoud J. Al-Falah. Le fonds, qui s’appellera désormais « Ekuity Capital », détient un portefeuille de plus de 500 millions DT dans plus d’une vingtaine d’entreprises tunisiennes cotées et non cotées. En 2015, il a procédé à une augmentation de son capital de 300 millions DT. L’idée pour cette nouvelle étape sera d’investir via des tickets de 5 à 35 MD dans des participations minoritaires, dans des sociétés à fort potentiel de développement et d’expansion, localement ou à l’international. L’institution privilégiera les secteurs tels que l’industrie, l’agroalimentaire, les services financiers, l’immobiliers, les TIC, etc. Pour 2019, l’enveloppe d’investissement prévue devrait a priori atteindre 80 MD, un montant qui pourrait toutefois être revu en fonction des opportunités. Le nouveau positionnement d’Ekuity Capital répond aux éxigences des changements structurels de l’économie tunisienne, il s’agit de la dernière étape d’un processus entamé depuis 2015. Le management d’Ekuity Capital a précisé que le fonds ne compte pas se dégager du tourisme, mais diversifier ses activités selon des proportions prédéfinies pour chaque secteur, dans son portefeuille. Le changement de dénomination reflète justement les nouvelles velléités de la société, et un message envers les partenaires pour la nouvelle orientation, le nom du CTKD a longtemps été associé aux établissements hôteliers, spécialement Abou Nawas, a expliqué le directeur général d’Ekuity Capital, Mohammad Al-Nemah.
Lors d’une conférence de presse organisée ce matin, le Consortium tuniso-koweïtien de développement (CTKD) a levé le voile sur son nouveau positionnement. La conférence était l’occasion pour l’entreprise de présenter sa nouvelle stratégie. Détails. Implanté en Tunisie depuis 1976, le Consortium tuniso-koweïtien de développement a annoncé aujourd’hui le changement de sa dénomination. L’entreprise s’appelle désormais Ekuity Capital. À travers ce changement d’identité, l’entreprise souhaite refléter l’évolution de ses activités et l’élargissement de son champ d’action, a indiqué Mohamed Elnemah, CEO d’Ekuity Capital. Jusqu’alors focalisée sur le tourisme, Ekuity Capital vise désormais investir dans plusieurs secteurs dont l’industrie, l’agroalimentaire, les services financiers, l’immobilier, les TIC, la santé et l’éducation. Il n’en demeure pas moins que le fonds s’interessera particulièrement aux investissements dans les TIC, l’agroalimentaire et les services financiers, a affirmé Alnemah. Interrogé par Le Manager, Humoud J. Al-Falah, président d’Ekuity Capital, a affirmé que la crise que connaît le secteur touristique depuis quelques années n’a pas influé sur la décision du fonds puisque ses investissements dans le secteur n’ont pas été impactés. “Le but étant de diversifier le portefeuille du fonds pour minimiser les risques et pour toucher de nouveaux secteurs à fort potentiel”, a-t-il affirmé. Et d’ajouter: “Nous continuons d’investir dans le secteur touristique”. Le fonds va investir environ 80 millions de dinars tout au long de 2019 via des tickets de 5 à 35 millions de dinars pour acquérir des participations minoritaires dans des sociétés à fort potentiel de développement et en expansion à l’échelle locale ou internationale. Rappelons qu’Ekuity Capital gère aujourd’hui un portefeuille d’investissements de plus de 500 millions de dinars tunisiens répartis entre plus de 20 participations.

Une page se tourne dans les investissements koweitiens en Tunisie. A nouvelle stratégie, nouvelle identité. Longtemps locomotive financière au blason bien doré, avec notamment l’ancienne chaîne hôtelière Abou Nawas, en porte drapeau, depuis 42 ans (1976), le Consortium Tuniso-Koweitien de Développement (CTKD) déploie une nouvelle vision stratégique d’investissement et de prises de participation. Du coup, il se repositionne sur son cœur de métier et prend la dénomination de Ekuity Capital. La nouvelle entité garde la même architecture de capital et le même management. Filiale de la Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), elle maintient à la présidence de son conseil d’administration, Hamoud Al-Falah et à la tête de sa direction générale, M’hammed Al Neema. Son capital a été augmenté de 300 millions de dinars tunisiens, en 2014 et son portefeuille d’investissement porté à plus de 500 millions de dinars dans une vingtaine d’entreprises tunisiennes. Ses prises de participation portent notamment sur l’industrie, l’agroalimentaire, les services financiers, l’immobilier et les Tics, ainsi que la santé, l’éducation et la distribution. Ekuity Capital vise désormais des tickets d’investissement allant de 5 à 35 millions de dinars en participations minoritaires dans des entreprises à fort potentiel de développement et en expansion tant en Tunisie qu’à l’étranger.
