Samsic
Christian Roulleau established Samsic Group before forming the For-Bzh single-family office in Paris. The office manages family capital generated by the facility services business that now operates in 24 countries with 108,500 employees. The office deploys across direct co-investments, private equity, real estate, and startups. Asset classes include PropTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, and Healthcare Services. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East & Central Asia. Real estate holdings include Château Dauzac in Labarde and Domaine de la Bégude in Bandol. No public AUM figure exists. The team includes family members in operating roles at For-Bzh and Samsic Group. Adjacent vehicles comprise Fondation Samsic and Bretagne Atlantique Ambition. Christian Roulleau has held membership in Club des Trente since 2003. The structure ties the family office directly to the operating company through shared principals and board roles. This integration supplies proprietary access to industrial and logistics assets that feed investment decisions.
