Paval Holding is the parent company of Dedeman, the largest do-it-yourself group in Romania and the Balkans, with revenue in excess of EUR2.5 billion and over 50 stores.

Although a late entrant in the race to acquire Praktiker Hellas, it managed to outbid giants such as Leroy Merlin (Adeo group) and Bulgaria’s Videolux Holding (Technopolis), submitting the most competitive bid.
