HSBC Private Equity sells Ampafrance to Dorel for $240m

HSBC Private Equity has completed its first successful exit from a French investment since opening a Paris office in 2000, with the $240m (€223m) sale of Ampafrance, the baby stroller manufacturer, to Dorel, the Canada-based consumer products company.
