We are delighted to have supported The Rohatyn Group and Stage Capital on the sale of Prestige 96 to Valeo Foods Group. OC&C provided sell-side commercial support to help position the business effectively and underpin a successful transaction.

Prestige 96 is a leading sweet snacking producer with a strong presence in Eastern Europe, recognised for its high-quality product portfolio and market leading position in Bulgaria. The business has delivered consistent growth, supported by strong brand equity and deep customer relationships across the region.
