Last night, the Basque consortium and the PAI Partners signed an agreement for the purchase of Uvesco, which will be relocated to Basque investors for EUR 700 million. Administrative procedures are now under way and the operation will be completely completed in the first quarter of the year.
The current CEO, Angel Jareño, ledby a consortium of Basque investors , has acquired 100% of the company and the company has returned to local ownership, with the French fund PAI Partners leaving the company.
