European growth capital firm Bregal Milestone has led a $53m series-C funding round for Spanish delivery platform Paack.
Previous investors Unbound, RPS Ventures, Rider Global and Fuse Ventures also took part in the round.
Paack intends to use the fresh capital to accelerate its expansion across Spain and the rest of Europe. The company plans to reinforce its market position by investing in operational efficiency and product innovation, expanding its delivery coverage and further developing its software platform.

Bregal Milestone is part of Bregal Investments, which has invested more than €15bn to date.
