Construmart S.A. has been acquired by Inversiones RTB S.p.A.

Construmart S.A. has been acquired by Inversiones RTB S.p.A., marking the successful conclusion of an investment process led by financial investors FIP Hammer and ushering the company into a new phase of expansion under the leadership of an experienced local family office.

Construmart S.A. is a specialist distributor of construction materials and home improvement products, serving construction companies, hardware stores and master builders across Chile. The company operates through two main channels: retail with in-store sales and B2B through direct sales to engineering and construction firms.

Inversiones RTB S.p.A. is an experienced Chilean family office.

FIP Hammer is a private investment fund formed by a group of local Chilean investors.

Oaklins’ team in Chile acted as the exclusive financial advisor to FIP Hammer in the sale of a 100% stake in Construmart S.A. to Inversiones RTB S.p.A. FIP Hammer had originally acquired Construmart S.A. in 2018 through a transaction also led and structured by the Chilean team. During that process, the team organized a group of local investors who acquired the company with a seven-year investment horizon. This successful investment concluded with the recent transaction, achieving a net internal rate of return (IRR) of 19.3% in local currency.
