With operations spanning more than 100 countries, 13 R&D centers, and 14 manufacturing plants, the company aims to enhance innovation and deliver more advanced smart home and building solutions for the AV and IT industries.
Nice, a global leader in Smart Living solutions, announces the completion of a €370 million transaction designed to support the Group’s organic and acquisition-driven growth, while also optimizing its financial structure.
The transaction, structured as a Senior Facilities Agreement, was financed by a pool of 11 leading Italian and international financial institutions, led by BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank and Mediobanca as Global Coordinators.
