Bancroft Private Equity investment fund has taken over more than
50% in Dumagas, one of the biggest transportation companies on the
Romanian market, with 28 million euros in turnover last year, in a
deal put at 10 to 20 million euros by players on the transportation
market. According to the same sources, the private equity fund
acquired 60 % of the company controlled by the Dugăeșescu family,
following negotiations that extended over nearly five months.
This makes Dumagas the second Romanian transporter to be partially
held by an investment fund, after Alin Popa, who controls Edy
Spedition, sold 17.5% in the company to Balkan Accession Fund in
2005.
