Blitzstart supports One Rock Capital Partners in the combination to form the Eat Happy Hana Group

Blitzstart has supported the New York-based private equity firm One Rock Capital Partners in bringing together the Eat Happy Group and the European activities of Hana Group SAS to form the new Eat Happy Hana Group. This strategic investment has created a pan-European player in the segment for ultra-fresh Asian food and convenience food.

One Rock Capital Partners is a private equity firm headquartered in New York. Through its investment, it has combined the Cologne-based sushi and convenience specialist Eat Happy Group with the European business of the French competitor Hana Group. The combined group supplies around 5,800 points of sale across 14 European countries and unites a portfolio of more than 20 brands.

Blitzstart provided comprehensive support to One Rock with the corporate structuring of the combination and remained involved throughout the signing and closing processes. This was done in close cooperation with the legal advisers and banks involved.

At Blitzstart, Raphael List (Munich), Claudius Remppis (Munich), Eva Reiter (Munich/Frankfurt) and Martin Kerscher (Munich/Frankfurt) were involved.
