We would like to thank the RTPR team for all their support offered for the successful closing of this first step towards the capital markets, a step through which we wish, together with the investors who joined us, to succeed in implementing our growth plans at an accelerated pace, investing in modern technologies with an important component of sustainability and reducing the impact on the climate, focusing on sustainable agricultural activities such as crop rotation, the use of no-till technology - minimum soil work, composting, carbon capture and respectively reduced use of chemical fertilizers. All these investments are aimed at increasing the EBITDA margins, bringing added value to all parties involved”, declared Ovidiu Bucataru, Chief Financial Officer of Grup Serban.

Congratulations to the Grup Serban team!
