Founded in 2005, Exa is a general contractor focused on the luxury retail and hospitality sectors which has progressively established itself in Italy and internationally as a leader in project management for luxury brands for all their real estate projects: flagship stores, hotels, offices and showrooms. With approximately 250 employees, the group has offices on three continents and supports over 100 clients worldwide, particularly in Italy, France, U.K. and U.S:A.

The deal is the first carried out by Montefiore in Italy. The fund will support Exa on a further growth strategy, particularly abroad.

The acquisition was supported by Eurazeo which provided a senior secured loan.
