Poland’s competition watchdog has cleared the sale of a majority stake in confectioner Mieszko to a Lithuanian private-equity firm.
UOKiK, Poland’s anti-trust body, said yesterday (14 June) that it had given its green light to Eva Grupe’s acquisition of almost 66% of Mieszko.
The purchase of a 65.9% stake in Mieszko is Eva Grupe’s latest investment in the confectionery sector.
The private-equity firm has a 14.6% stake in Lithuanian candy firm Vilniaus Pergale, which has a 17% share of the local confectionery sector.
