All this, while strengthening its global position and continued geographic expansion in accordance with the group's growth strategy."
"Turpaz aims to continue realizing its growth strategy through acquisitions and mergers and organic growth. Accordingly, the company raised credit in the first quarter of 2024 in the amount of 33 million euros, of which 14.1 million dollars were used to purchase Sunspray and the balance will be used to finance future acquisitions."
Implementation of the integrated growth strategy
The Turpaz group's strategy is based on integrated growth both through mergers and acquisitions of synergistic activities and through organic growth. The Turpaz group works to integrate and coordinate the activities of the group's companies in the areas of sales, procurement, development and compliance with regulatory requirements, which improve the geographic distribution of Turpaz and contribute to improving the overall profit and profitability of the group.
The Turpaz Group implements a systematic plan that it developed for the rapid integration of each acquired company into the group and the strengthening of the global management, which includes, among other things, the preservation of the existing management of the acquired companies and their integration as part of the Turpaz management, the strengthening of the product and customer portfolios and the implementation of the controls and control system of the Turpaz group in the sales system (cross-selling), research and development, procurement and finances of the acquired companies, with the aim of bringing about a quick and effective exploitation of the synergies.
