Most active sectors
The beverages sector is the sector in which most operations have been carried out (3), all of which have had as an investor a corporation that was already in the beverages sector, although its main activity is not the same as the activity of the acquired company.
Thus, in addition to the above-mentioned Bardinet, Osborne has bought Ginebra Bordes. Hijos de Rivera, a brewing company that is in the top 10 beverage companies in Spain, has bought Aguas del Pilar.
"Hijos de Rivera already had 2 springs, Cabreiroá in Ourense, and Agua de Cuevas in Asturias, but the acquisition of Aguas del Pilar in Andalucía allows it to expand southwards," says Diego Gutierrez of ABRA INVEST.
