MM have committed and invested over €400 million in 32 companies across 9 countries in Central & Eastern Europe

Impala Invest had been growing substantially in the recent past consolidating its leading position on the Bulgarian food market
The Group grew both organically, through a sophisticated marketing strategy focused on establishing its consumer brands, and inorganically through acquisitions of assets and whole operating companies in the food industry
To accelerate its growth and strengthen its regional market presence, the Group needed fresh capital which could be instantly deployed to capitalize on buy-out opportunities in the region
Impala Invest BV hired Entrea Capital to advise it on an exclusive basis on the capital raising process and potential acquisition opportunities
