PARIS — French adult studio Jacquie et Michel has been acquired by an international fund, marking a significant development for the well-known brand.
The studio, which has been owned for 25 years by Michel Piron, will henceforth be managed from the United States by a new company, JetM Technology Solutions.
Piron, who was charged with a number of offenses by the French government in 2022, was recently cleared.
"After 25 years of family-led management, the group is now embarking on a historic transition," said a rep. "As part of this natural transition, Jacquie et Michel has been acquired by an international fund specializing in the entertainment industry. This fund, already well-established in the sector, presents an exceptional opportunity for the brand’s global expansion."
According to the announcement, the Jacquie et Michel product line has been distributed among the fund’s teams based on geographic and operational expertise, with some based in the U.S. and others in Canada, Cyprus, and Hungary. All French operations will be shuttered.
"This new structure aims to tailor content to international audiences by acquiring region-specific material while preserving the core elements that made Jacquie et Michel successful in France," the rep noted. "Jacquie et Michel remains committed to its strict Ethical and Deontological Charter, which will continue to guide all its operations. Content acquisitions from independent producers undergo rigorous scrutiny, including recorded audio checks, to ensure that production standards and ethical guidelines are upheld."
