The Baltics region's leader in chemicals manufacturing is established with professional assistance from the Prudentia team

On December 7th, 2021, the merger deal was completed between two regional producers of cleaning products – Latvian AS “Spodrība”, and Lithuanian NAUJOJI RINGUVA, AB. As the result of the merger deal, the Baltics region leader in the field of production of cleaning products, which focuses on the development of eco-friendly and innovative products, has been established.

 

During the merger transaction, AS “Prudentia” represented the interests of the selling company AS “Spodrība” and its shareholders. Under the professionality and extensive M&A experience of the Prudentia team, the deal, which is accepted by both parties of the transaction, has been made, laying solid foundation for further business development.

 

“Spodrība is the undisputed leader in the development of eco-friendly cleaning products in Latvia, but regional leadership can be achieved more quickly by joining forces with other players in the region.
