AkzoNobel przejmuje udziały firmy Fabryo i dzięki tej transakcji osiągnie pozycję lidera na rumuńskim rynku.
Firma AkzoNobel podpisała umowę przejęcia 100% udziałów Fabryo Corporation S.R.L. (Fabryo), dzięki czemu obejmie pozycję lidera na rumuńskim rynku farb dekoracyjnych.
Transakcja obejmuje dwa zakłady produkcyjne i sześć centrów dystrybucji farb dekoracyjnych, klejów oraz zapraw, w tym jedną z największych fabryk farb dekoracyjnych w regionie.
Firma wygenerowała przychody w wysokości około 45 milionów euro w 2017 r. i jest jedynym graczem, który na rumuńskim rynku ma zarówno wiodące portfolio produktów dla konsumentów, jak i dla profesjonalistów, obejmujące takie marki jak: Savana, APLA oraz InnenWeiss.
Thierry Vanlancker, CEO AkzoNobel, powiedział: "To przejęcie zapewni AkzoNobel pozycję numer jeden na szybko rosnącym rynku i przyczyni się do realizacji strategii Winning Together: 15 na 20. Fabryo osiągnęło znaczące wyniki w zakresie ciągłego rozwoju i rentowności. Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni, że możemy do naszego portfolio dołączyć kolejne najlepsze marki, takie jak Savana, APLA i InnenWeiss oraz już wkrótce powitać nowych kolegów w firmie AkzoNobel. "
Ruud Joosten, COO AkzoNobel, dodał: "Jesteśmy bardzo podekscytowani nabyciem Fabryo; to silny lider na rynku farb dekoracyjnych w Rumunii, prowadzony przez świetny zespół. Savana jest numerem jeden wśród rumuńskich marek farb dekoracyjnych. Mocna pozycja sprzedaży i dystrybucji firmy Fabryo pomoże nam w dalszym usprawnianiu naszej działalności w regionie, przy wykorzystaniu połączonych zasobów oraz wiedzy, a także umacnianiu naszej pozycji lidera produkującego farby i lakiery w Europie."
Dragos Militaru, CEO Fabryo, powiedział: "Nie możemy się doczekać dołączenia do AkzoNobel. Obie firmy mają pasję malowania oraz dzielą te same wartości. Połączenie naszych wysiłków w Rumunii, w oparciu o globalną pozycję AkzoNobel, pozwoli nam wzmocnić naszą pozycję lidera."
Zakładamy, że planowana transakcja zostanie zakończona w drugiej połowie 2018 r., obecnie oczekujemy na otrzymanie zgody od organu regulacyjnego.
