Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP) assisted Holcim Romania, one of the leaders in the construction materials industry in Romania, with the expansion of its aggregates division through the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Stones Business Development SRL, which operates an aggregate station and a sand and gravel mining exploitation.

NNDKP assisted Holcim Romania in all phases of the transaction, from performing the due diligence analysis on the target company and its mining activities, to advising the client in the negotiation of the share sale-purchase agreement, as well as in drafting and reviewing the relevant contractual documentation.

The transaction was completed at the end of March, and the NNDKP team dedicated to the project was led by Ruxandra Bologa, Partner and Co-head of the Corporate/M&A and Energy and Natural Resources practices, and included Emanuel Flechea (Managing Associate), Mirela Preda (Counsel), from the Corporate/M&A practice, Vlad Tănase (Partner, Real Estate practice), Roxana Ionescu (Partner, Environment practice) and Lucian Barbu (Partner, NNDKP Tax Advisory Services).

"Holcim is one of the most important local players in the production of high-performance construction materials. We are delighted to have been able to assist the company with its plan to expand locally through this new acquisition, which contributes to strengthening its position in the construction market. I would like to thank Holcim for their trust and excellent collaboration throughout the transaction", said Ruxandra Bologa, NNDKP Partner, Corporate/M&A and Energy and Natural Resources practices.

With the legal assistance provided to Holcim Romania in this transaction, NNDKP expands and strengthens its portfolio of Corporate/M&A projects in which it has been involved in recent months, in industries such as energy and natural resources, food and agribusiness, technology and IT, transport and logistics and medical services.
