He said ROCA was also considering capital market listings for some of the companies in its portfolio.

“The first step is to list some of our investments and then ROCA” said Vizental.

ROCA’s portfolio includes Tremot Dobre si Fii, one of the main players on the local apiculture market, footwear manufacturer S-Karp, and Frigotehnica, the leading provider of commercial and industrial refrigeration. In June 2019 ROCA became the majority shareholder in Electroplast Bistrita, which manufactures electrical conductors and electrical cables.

ROCA was launched in 2018 as a first investment and management platform targeting Romanian companies. After only one year of operations, the company reported a 260% yield for the amounts invested initially and reached EUR22 million.
