“We see a time of growth for our companies in Romania – Pehart, Green Group, GTS-Global Technical Group and Dentotal Protect in 2021, especially in the second half, unlike 2020, which was a year of protection and consolidation of position,” says Adrian Stanculescu, head of Abris Romania and partner with the firm.
Besides directly buying new companies, a private equity firm can develop by steering the companies it owns towards growth. It can do that with investments from scratch, among others.
“Our companies have really ambitious investment plans for 2021. We are considering two or three potential add-on investments in each of our four companies.”
The main challenge the companies will be facing in 2021 will be when to take their foot off the brakes and step on the gas.
“We see a good market and are optimistic about that. That pandemic restrictions did not generate emergency deals among Romanian companies is a good indicator of the maturity of the market.”
