The investment company Rupula one owned by Jaroslav Havel acquired, in two stages, a 30% stake in Pet Farm Family, which produces ecologically sustainable premium dog and cat food. Rupula one also provided additional investment financing to the company. HAVEL & PARTNERS supported the investment by providing comprehensive legal advice.
Specialised advice was provided to the investment company Rupula one by an expert team headed by the firm’s partner, Ondřej Florián, together with Lena Fryčová, managing associate, and Jakub Rybka, associate. The team focused not only on M&A advice on the acquisition of the stake, but also performed transaction due diligence and an analysis of the investment financing. The dedicated team thus provided the investor with comprehensive turnkey services.
Pet Farm Family is a company based in Prague that has been producing dog and cat food in organic quality from raw materials from Czech farmers for nearly ten years. At the same time, it places strong emphasis on ecology and sustainability in production. “Our factory is powered by 100% green energy. We recycle, eliminate plastics and chemicals, and use proven and local resources. We do not save on raw materials; for us, the BIO certificate is a guarantee of the sustainability of production, origin and quality for us,” say the company’s founders, Matej Toman and Alie Lengyelová.
Besides the factory, the company also operates a shop where it sells organic cosmetics for animals, eco-friendly toys and fair trade food supplements in addition to pet food. The investment enabled the further development of the company’s concept of the sustainable production and sale of organic products for pets.
