Arbis Capital Partners bought Romanian courier services providers Cargus and Urgent Curier.
According to consultants and investment fund representatives, entrepreneurs started to be more open and to attract business partners, while funds also resumed investments in Romania.
In their opinion, Romanian companies are considering growth again, as entrepreneurs are more and more interested in attracting investors to support growth.
“We are on the right track and we see an interest in the market coming from both ways. There is money for the region and for Romania coming from investment funds and strategic investors and I can see an increasing interest of Romanian companies in attracting investors,” Ruxandra Ogrendil, Pathfinder Management&Consulting managing partner, stated.
Scarlat added that Romania ranks first in the region by growth potential, although it is a market which lacked investments for a long time.
According to Alina Stancu Birsan, Peli Filip law firm partner, there is more activity on the mergers and acquisitions market, but transactions are still lingering.
Dan Farcasanu, investment manager with Resource Partners, a fund which bought World Class this year, also sees a market revival, as there are more and transactions, but they need time to materialize.
