OC&C advises on the recent Hakto Group transaction

OC&C is pleased to have provided buy-side commercial due diligence on the Hakto Group, in support of a recent transaction involving Nobel Capital Partners.

The Hakto Group’s subsidiary brand Hakvoort Professional is a long-established player in the professional kitchen sector; delivering an end-to-end service from design to maintaining kitchen solutions across hospitality, foodservice and healthcare end-markets. Through the Combisteel brand, the business also distributes a broad range of professional kitchen equipment to an extensive and growing network of dealers across Europe.

The transaction marks a new phase of growth for the Hakto Group, with a strategic partnership focused on accelerating both organic expansion and targeted M&A. Backed by additional investment and sector expertise, the business is well positioned to strengthen its market presence and capitalise on increasing demand for professional kitchen solutions across Europe.

OC&C supported the process with commercial due diligence, leveraging its deep experience in B2B distribution to provide robust insights in support of this transaction. We wish the Hakto Group and Nobel Capital Partners every success in the future.
