GL events宣布全资收购巴西临时结构专家Tópico

Global integrated eventgs group, GL events has announced the acquisition of 100% of Tópico, a Brazilian manufacturer and rental firm specialising in temporary structures.

Founded in 1979 and based in the state of São Paulo, Tópico specialises in temporary industrial warehouses in Brazil and its integrated model covers the entire value chain, from manufacturing and installation to maintenance and dismantling.

With c. 450 employees managing a rental portfolio of 1.57m sqm, Tópico is a market leader in Brazil. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

Tópico’s business benefits from strong visibility through long-term industrial contracts of more than 60 months and generates annual revenue of €50m.

Tópico gives the Group an immediate leading position in the country and a strong local platform from which to accelerate the development of its activities in Brazil and, more broadly, across Latin America.

GL events will bring its commercial reach to help Tópico expand into Brazil’s large-scale events market. In turn, Tópico will provide the Group with local industrial capabilities and expertise in long-duration structures in Brazil.

Tópico’s current management team will continue to lead the company.  The transaction is expected to close in January 2027.

Olivier Ginon, chairman-CEO of GL events Group, commented: “We are delighted to welcome the Tópico teams to our Group and to open up exciting new opportunities together. Over the years, they have demonstrated exceptional industrial expertise and remarkable growth momentum. The manufacture and rental of temporary structures are a strategic pillar for GL events, which already has an established presence in France, the UK, Spain, Chile and the Middle East. This transaction expands our geographic footprint and strengthens our operational capabilities internationally.”

Gustavo Santos, chairman of TOPICO, said: “We share a strong cultural fit, rooted in an entrepreneurial spirit, a commitment to excellence and the value we place on long-term customer relationships. Joining the group opens new avenues for growth, combining our team’s expertise with GL events’ international reach and capabilities to expand our business and better serve our customers.”
