C4 Industries

C4 Industries is an entrepreneurial platform founded in 2004 by Pascal Cagni, focusing on investments in industrial companies that preserve heritage and promote the green transition. The firm operates through two main entities: C4 Manufactures and C4 Participations. C4 Manufactures serves as the anchor investor in several companies, including Maison Lelièvre, a three-century-old French company specializing in upholstery fabrics, and Crime Science Technology, which focuses on securing identity documents. In 2025, C4 Industries invested in Arc, the international leader in tableware, and acquired Faïencerie de Gien, a 200-year-old French earthenware manufacturer. C4 Participations holds minority stakes in companies such as Cleeng, ELCA, Freelance, and iPulse.

C4 Industries' investment strategy emphasizes supporting exceptional entrepreneurs who drive innovative and high-potential projects. The firm seeks to enhance the value of its portfolio companies by providing strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a network of industry experts. This approach aims to accelerate growth and foster long-term sustainability, particularly in sectors that align with the firm's focus on heritage preservation and green transition.

The firm's commitment to these values is evident in its diverse portfolio, which spans various industries, including manufacturing, textiles, technology, consumer goods, luxury goods, hospitality, real estate, security, design, art, heritage preservation, green transition, food and beverage, home furnishings, and consumer electronics. By investing in these sectors, C4 Industries contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage while promoting sustainable and innovative business practices.
