Buffet Crampon, established in Paris in 1825, is the world leader in clarinet manufacturing. Enjoying steady growth for the past fifteen years, the Company produces over 60.000 wind instruments each year under its own brand, generating sales of €47m, most of them through export.

After being for many years a subsidiary of large groups managing portfolios of music related brands, Buffet Crampon regained its independence through a MBO arranged by Argos Soditic and led by its management. The transaction will allow the Company to fully control the distribution of its own brand through the acquisition of the US and Japanese commercial subsidiaries.

180 years after its creation, the Company obtained the resources it needed to re-develop its product offering leveraging on its world-famous brand, its know-how and on the newly gained control over its worldwide distribution channels.
