European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) made a strategic equity investment of US$ 25 million into Morocco’s Dislog Group to support the firm in its growth path and to unlock the market footprint. First incorporated in 2005, Dislog Group has since become a dominant Moroccan industrial overlord which thrives in hygiene, food, and healthcare field. With this most recent funding round, the group intends to fast track its mergers and acquisitions strategy and to bolster its financial structures before a planned initial public offering (IPO).
The equity injection forms part of a broader capital subscription from several important co-investor parties including SPE Capital, International Finance Corporation (IFC), Sanam Holding, Sanlam and H&S Invest Holding.
The investment will be used to:
- Refinance recent acquisitions
- Support efforts to reduce existing debt
- Enhance operational synergies across business lines
These recent acquisitions will allow Dislog to increase its presence nationally and strengthen its position within the value chains of consumers and health in Morocco. Dislog counts over 200 brands in its portfolios and continues to innovate and bring products to Moroccan and European households through more than 3,400 employees. This transaction has received all requisite approvals from the Moroccan regulatory authorities, including from the Competition Council. From a legal and strategic standpoint, support was provided by DLA Piper and Roland Berger.
