Following twenty-one years of successful partnership, GR. SARANTIS S.A. announces the sale of its
49% participation in the JV with The Estée Lauder Companies for an aggregate price of €55.2 million.
As part of its go-to-market strategy, The Estée Lauder Companies has decided that as of June 15 2022, it will run its operations in the Greek and Balkans markets directly, in line with its approach in other markets in the EMEA region. This transaction does not affect the existing employment relationships of the joint venture employees.
Moreover, as a part of Sarantis Group strategy, the sale agreement was concluded pursuant to Sarantis management’s commitment to focus on the strategic activities of the Group and allotment of funds and human resources for supporting its further growth.
More specifically:
- The increase of the cash flows will strengthen the Group’s strategic planning for acquisitions in the sectors of its activity. The incoming flow of funds will render possible the prompt replacement of the profits emanating from the Joint Venture by profitability coming from activities related to products that are strategic to the Group.
- The release of Mr. Grigoris Sarantis from his duties as Managing Director of the Joint Venture, will result in the strengthening of Group’s Management team, that is necessary for facing the challenges of the current business
- The Group’s release from the Joint Venture will give the opportunity to the Group to conclude agreements with principals from abroad that wish to utilize its network and know – how both inside and out of Greece.
Management believes that the release of the Group from the Joint Venture will immensely benefit its expansion and upward trend, while the existing profitability may be substituted by more than 150% from profitability coming from activities that are absolutely compatible with its strategic activities.
