Our role in the transaction
Oaklins' team in Poland advised the founding shareholders of QFG in this transaction, finding an investor in order to facilitate the company's rapid growth and exploit its full potential. Previously, our team had advised Quantum Foods, an American producer of steaks and meat-based products, on a buy-side mandate in which they became a shareholder of Krzyzanowscy, currently QFG. Quantum Foods exited from the company after a few years selling back their shares to the founding shareholders.
