Paris—Dentons Paris advised Organic Stories on the acquisition of Germ'line, the leading French producer of fresh organic sprouts.

Organic Stories is a holding company of French food companies specialised in organic farming and characterised by strong local roots and historical know-how. It includes the brands ProSain and Favrichon & Vignon.

The new group represents a turnover of €54 million (estimated for 2020) and employs 200 people at 3 production sites in France.

Philippe Bourgois, CEO of Germ'Line, will become a shareholder of Organic Stories and will remain very involved in the management and transmission of the company, as well as in the development of innovations related to sprouted seeds for the Group.

Our Paris team was composed of Pascal Chadenet (partner), Thierry Renaud de la Faverie (partner), Cécile Bayle (Of Counsel) and Hugo Casasnovas (associate).
