Big guns circle CVC-backed Mivisa

CVC is at present considering the offers received from Apollo Management, Blackstone Group, Bridgepoint Capital, Carlyle Group and Cinven for the Spanish food-can maker.

Goldman Sachs and Citi are managing the sales process, which has also sparked interest from Ball Corporation and Silgan.

CVC acquired 100% of Mivisa as part of a secondary buyout from PAI Partners and Suala Capital in 2005. One of the current bidders - Carlyle - lost out on the deal in the final stage of the auction.

The company boasted a 2009 turnover of €500m, and an EBITDA of €117m.
