Davide Vassena, CEO of VR Group, added: “Our partnership with the Sun European team has been a great success. Our shared values and focus on delivering a customer-first strategy, combined with Sun European’s operational knowledge and deep manufacturing expertise have allowed us to transform and grow the business further. We look forward to partnering with Teak Capital and Tangor Capital, who also bring extensive experience and an impressive track record as investors and operators, and with whom we look forward to a new growth phase for VR Group.”

Our ambition is to contribute to further value creation in the Group’s development. We believe our industrial vocation makes as suitable investors to embrace that challenge.”

Rita Domingues, Managing Director of Tangor Capital, said: “We are confident that our expertise and resources will contribute significantly to the development of VR Group, positioning us as the ideal partners to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
