Mutares has exited Peugeot Motocycles through a management buyout, completing a roughly two-year holding period that reshaped the French two-wheeler manufacturer.

The divestiture comes as Mutares pivots toward larger acquisitions and its new Chemicals & Materials segment.

Peugeot Motocycles generates annual sales of approximately €140 million and serves markets across Europe and Asia.

Under Mutares' ownership, the company acquired DAB Motors to broaden its premium and electric scooter offering and entered a partnership with Sherco to add to its product line.

The management team, which recently launched the Pulsion Evo model, will now lead the brand's international growth independently.

The sale is the latest in a series of portfolio moves for Mutares, which has also sold Kalzip, WIJ Special Media, and the inTime Group this year as it shifts capital to larger deals and a U.S. build-out.
