Founded in 1968, the Carat Security Group is one of the worldwide leaders in the armouring of civilian and military vehicles. 

The sale of the Carat group to a holding company made up of a group of Asian investors managed by the Dongfeng Design Institute Co. Ltd. will help to strengthen the investment capacity of the Carat group, through the backing of a worldwide partner with a significant investment capacity, thereby accelerating the group’s development, notably in the Asia-Pacific region. 

The group’s main production centre (Centigon France) is located in Brittany, France. The group also has factories in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil and Columbia.

The Cornet Vincent Ségurel team was managed by Adrien Debré (Partner), with the help of Anna Verri and Alexandra Thil. Hélène de Saint Germain (Partner) was in charge of the labour law aspects, with François Herpe (Partner) looking after intellectual property aspects.
