Sell-side advisory to the owner of Marnevall Zrt.

In February 2020, LDC Group acquired Marnevall Zrt., one of the leaders in the Hungarian food processing industry.

Marnevall produces 10,000 tones of breaded poultry, processed meat and fast-frozen products per year and generates €20 million in revenues. Its production site is located in Debrecen, Hungary, close to Tranzit, in which LDC acquired 70% in 2018, with the help of IMAP Hungary.

Franco-Hungarian LDC-Tranzit is a significant poultry processing group in Hungary, with 60 per cent share in the volume of meat-type goose production and has been a leader in the production of ducks in the country.

With the acquisition of Marnevall, LDC aims to broaden its range of downstream products and accelerate its reach into supermarkets and the out-of-home catering sector.

The IMAP Hungary team, led by Gabor Szendroi, acted as sole financial advisor to Marnevall throughout the sale process.
