“Our main objective remains consolidating our market position in the categories in which we operate. We continue to invest, be dynamic, and implement development plans, while also paying close attention to the socio-economic and political context,” company officials said in a response for ZF’s latest `Cei mai mari jucatori din economie” (Key players in the economy) yearbook.

They say that the largest industries in which the company operates are affected by the current socio-economic context, which is causing changes in consumer purchasing decisions and consumption behavior.

Maspex’s portfolio includes beverages such as Tymbark, Tedi, Ciao, Bucovina, canned fruit, vegetables, and fish, snacks, instant products, and alcoholic beverages (vodka).

It also intends to acquire winemaker Purcari, thus entering a new market segment in Romania. The Polish group is launching a tender offer for Purcari on July 16 at a price of RON21 per share, according to the document approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority.

The offer is for the acquisition of 39.77 million Purcari shares, representing 98.38% of the share capital, according to public data.
