Sevoir Group has published a interesting blog post and companion podcast analyzing the February 2025 collapse of Technicolor Group, once valued at €1.1 billion. Written by Daniel Jurow, a former Technicolor executive. The article outlines how debt, fragmented strategy, and external market shocks combined to bring down one of the most recognized names in visual effects.
The article traces Technicolor’s long-standing debt issues, including a failed €300 million rights offer during COVID and a €126 million annual interest burden as late as 2020. It also describes how the company’s attempts to integrate its major acquisitions, such as The Mill, MPC, Mikros, and Mr. X, created internal competition, disrupted operations, and led to the departure of key clients and staff.
