SOPURA acquired by KERSIA

Kersia acquired 100% of Sopura from its shareholders as part of a strategic build-up program. This transaction was integrated into a larger financing package arranged during the acquirer's own ownership transition to a new private equity sponsor. The acquisition represents a major strategic shift, allowing the group to significantly increase its exposure to the beverage industry—moving from less than 2% to over 15% of its pro forma revenue. Strategically, the deal combines the target's specialized brewing hygiene expertise and rinse-free product lines with the acquirer's global food safety platform. Geographically, the operation provides the acquirer with immediate access to established manufacturing sites in Australia, South Africa, and Vietnam, while offering the target's products a pathway into North and South American markets through the group's existing network.
