AAylex Group continues its expansion and business consolidation. NNDKP assists in relation to complex finance and corporate aspects

During the first part of 2021, AAylex Group, one of the leading Romanian players in the food industry, finalized the acquisition of Banvit, the local subsidiary of the Brazilian giant, BRF, through a transaction that represented a premiere on the domestic market. The project prompted yet another premiere for the Romanian business environment, with the acquisition being financed by CEC Bank and EximBank.

The success of this transaction reconfirms the business model pursued by the AAylex Group which continues its plans to consolidate and streamline its activities. To this end, the group has launched an extremely ambitious project of merging all AAylex companies (over 15 companies that cover the entire chain of production and marketing of poultry meat, as well as other activities in the area of technology and green energy production).

The merger will result in a major European player, AAylex One, a company with a share capital of over 50 million euros and total assets worth almost 300 million euros.

“Given the fact that certain companies of the AAylex Group have been created and developed starting from zero, while others have been acquired along the years, it is only normal to initiate this administrative process, which is aimed at optimizing the production, logistics, investment and finance flows”, stated Bogdan Stanca, CEO of the company.
