RCM Energy: Leading the Solar Transition with EOS IM's Investment

EOS Investment Management Group (EOS IM), a prominent independent asset manager focusing on sustainable investments and energy transition, has acquired a majority stake in the Italian company RCM Energy. This strategic deal was facilitated through EOS Next Transition Fund II, marking its first investment after securing a closing of 80 million euros in February. RCM Energy, based in Villafalletto, Cuneo, specializes in designing and manufacturing metal structures and solar trackers for photovoltaic plants. Over the last three years, RCM has seen annual revenue growth exceeding 50%, and its operating margin is projected to surpass 25% in 2024. The investment aims to help RCM expand its internal organization, service range, and digital integration to better align with the evolving energy market demands. The transaction underscores EOS IM's strategy to nurture high-potential Italian SMEs focused on energy transition, circular economy, and sustainable agriculture. A team of advisors, including EY-Parthenon, PwC, and Gianni & Origoni, supported the deal. Insights from EOS IM's leaders, Ciro Mongillo and Giovanni Galasso, highlight the significance of the investment in strengthening the renewable energy supply chain and advancing RCM's capability to provide integrated, tech-enhanced solutions.
