The buyer in this deal, Melinda-Impex Instal, which has RON330 million revenue and 330 employees, is owned by Denes Pal (63.3%), Melinda-Maria Pal (36.6%) and Lehel Andras (less than 1%), data available on the termene.ro platform show. According to his LinkedIn profile, Lehel Andras is a member of the board of Melinda Instal.
Lehel Andras’ name is also linked to DIY retailer Ambient in Sibiu. Basically, APC Universal Partner, a company he founded in 2016, bought at an auction the DIY Ambient store brand of the company by the same name, which went bankrupt in 2021. At the same time, APC Universal Partner, which already owned four Ambient stores, took over the other four stores from Sibiu-based Profelis C&V, plus two warehouses, thus becoming the sole operator of Ambient stores.
