HANA GROUP EUROPE acquired by EAT HAPPY GROUP

The combination of Eat Happy and Hana’s European business establishes a unified pan-Asian convenience platform encompassing approximately 5,800 points of sale across 14 European nations. This transaction represents a complete equity realization for Permira Funds within the European market following an expansion period since 2019. The consolidation merges Hana’s deep footprint in Western Europe with Eat Happy’s established network in Central Europe. Blending these complementary operational networks removes regional redundancies and deepens the product matrix offered to major grocery corporations. Retail partners gain access to a flexible dual-format solution pairing manned culinary kiosks with high-velocity automated chillers. The expanded scale increases purchasing power over volatile global seafood supply lines. One Rock Capital Partners structures this strategic investment to capture resilient consumer demand for healthy convenience foods. Combining these operating platforms mitigates the margin compression caused by rising labor costs in decentralized food preparation. The integrated entity holds a dominant market position positioned to secure long-term exclusivity agreements with consolidated European retail monopolies.
