Gimborn takeover by Perusa looms closer

The acquisition of Gimborn by Perusa is looming closer. This was the information PETglobal obtained in conversation with Gimborn managing director Jörg Barkei at the Italian pet supplies show Zoomark in Bologna. Perusa, a German investment fund, is thus seeking to acquire a third company in the pet supplies sector after Karlie and Flamingo. “Our negotiations with Perusa are at an advanced stage,” said Jörg Barkei. One unresolved issue according to Barkei was Gimborn’s involvement in Eastern Europe with its own pet supplies chain.
