Bucharest, May 3, 2022 – Atheneum Advisors, a Romanian corporate advisory firm, together with the law firm Domokos Partners, assisted DIAL of Hârșova in its sale to ROCA Industry, a transaction completed on April 28, 2022. The total value of the acquisition is expected to reach up to EUR 14 million.
The Atheneum Advisors team was led by Bogdan A. Mugescu.
“We are pleased with the successful completion of our first M&A transaction. We managed to go through a full financial, commercial, and valuation analysis process that took place over several months and involved all members of our team,” said Bogdan Mugescu, Managing Partner and Founder of Atheneum Advisors.
The legal assistance for the entire negotiation and implementation process of the transaction was coordinated by Emeric Domokos.
“The M&A market has been extremely dynamic over the past two years. It was a pleasure to work as a team with Atheneum Advisors and DIAL. Our team continues the process of developing and strengthening our M&A practice. The project carried out together with the Atheneum Advisors and DIAL team was successfully completed thanks to the professionalism of everyone involved, including the ROCA Industry team and its advisors,” said Emeric Domokos, Managing Partner of Domokos Partners.
DIAL was founded in 1994 by Vasile Roșu and specializes in the manufacture of wire products (fences, galvanized and painted welded mesh panels), being one of the leading producers in its segment nationwide.
“I am glad I had the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated professionals who addressed all the relevant aspects of a transaction (legal, regulatory, financial, tax). For us, it was an entirely new process, and the involvement of the two teams—from identifying the buyer through to signing the acquisition—was essential. The sale of the entire stake to ROCA Industry marks a new stage for DIAL and the continuation of our accelerated growth plans,” said Vasile Roșu.
