The fund plans to invest 20–30 million euros in new acquisitions
The fund has indirectly become a significant minority shareholder of Plasta Group and is prepared to invest at least EUR 20–30 million in new acquisitions in the coming years. It also plans to invest in increasing the capacity of the Plasta Group plants in Lithuania and Sweden.
