Carlyle has committed €290m in private credit financing to Mecachrome Group, reinforcing its focus on European industrial assets. The financing was delivered through Carlyle’s Global Credit platform. 

The package will refinance existing indebtedness and provide capital for expansion and acquisitions. Mecachrome supplies high-precision components to major aerospace and defence programmes.

Tikehau Capital has been the company’s majority shareholder since 2020. Rising aircraft production and defence spending have increased demand for scaled suppliers.

Carlyle said the transaction highlights the role of private credit in supporting strategic supply chains.

The deal also strengthens Carlyle’s growing footprint in the French private credit market.
