SURVISION Secures 25 Million EUR in Management Buy-Out Backed by Capital Export to Accelerate Global Leadership in Vehicle Recognition Paris, France & Miami, USA - December 10th, 2025 - Survision, the pioneering French company specialized in automatic vehicle recognition technologies, is proud to announce a major milestone in its history: a successful Management Buy-Out (MBO) supported by the majority fund Capital Export, secured through a €25 million investment to accelerate its growth and strengthen its position as the independent leader in License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Vehicle Identification solutions.
A New Chapter of Independence and Ambition
This operation marks a new phase in Survision’s strategic development. With the support of Capital Export, Survision reinforces its long-standing commitment to remain independent, standing out as one of the few LPR companies not acquired by an industrial player.
“This investment allows us to pursue our vision of creating a truly open, neutral, and platform-agnostic vehicle recognition ecosystem,” said Jacques Jouannais, CEO of Survision. “Our ambition is to become a global Vehicle Recognition Platform, seamlessly compatible with any payment or mobility system.”
A Strategic Move Toward Global Leadership
The new funding will accelerate Survision’s AI innovation roadmap, international expansion, and the deployment of next-generation vehicle recognition technologies that power smart cities, parking, tolling and access control worldwide.
In addition, this operation provides Survision with the financial strength to pursue a build-up strategy, enabling the company to acquire and integrate other key players in the mobility sector. These targeted acquisitions will reinforce Survision’s technological edge and broaden its global footprint.
Capital Export’s participation brings strategic and financial expertise to support Survision’s growth, while ensuring that its entrepreneurial DNA and technological independence remain intact.
Managers and Employees at the Heart of the Adventure
One of the most distinctive aspects of this MBO is that Survision’s managers and some employees are now shareholders. This collective participation embodies the company’s values of unity, authenticity, and shared success.
“The fact that the team is directly invested in the company’s future gives Survision an authentic and unique energy” said Charles-Antoine Eliard, Managing Partner at Capital Export. “Our role is to provide the long-term capital and strategic support that will allow Survision’s teams to fully realize their international ambitions while preserving their independence and innovation culture.”
