Printerrea Secures Pro XL Assets and Operations Amid Financial Distress

Printerrea has successfully acquired the assets and operations of Pro XL, a company specialized in the sale, rental, and maintenance of printing equipment. Pro XL, founded in 1998, faced substantial financial distress due to liabilities and was placed under judicial reorganisation by the Montpellier Commercial Court. This led to a transfer plan sanctioned in favor of Printerrea on January 24th. Legal and financial advisors played key roles, including Osborne Clarke advising Printerrea, Jean-François Blanc as the judicial administrator, Vincent Aussel as the judicial representative, Maurice Soued from ECAI as Printerrea's financial advisor, and Charlotte Barthelemy from Astria Avocats acting on behalf of Nicolas Gomar.
