Abraaj Group acquires Fan Milk from Maj Invest
Abraaj Group has agreed to acquire Fan Milk International from the Emborg family, Maj Invest Equity and the management.
The takeover is expected to be completed before the end of November 2013.
The Emborg family are the majority shareholders in the company. Maj became a co-owner when it invested via its LD Equity 2 fund at the end of 2007, acquiring a 37% stake. Following the upcoming deal, Abraaj will become majority owners.
The Emborg family and Maj have been considering a sale of the company for some time, due to a mutual aim to let new owners develop the company further.
