PAI Partners has made a binding offer for a majority stake in Naxicap Partners-owned hospitality equipment and consumables business ECF Group.
Naxicap would remain a minority shareholder following the deal for ECF, which has annual revenues of about €760m.
The company provides tableware, kitchen equipment, hygiene equipment, electrical equipment, furniture, buffets and essentials for take-away sales and delivery.
PAI said it would support ECF to further accelerate its growth, both organically and through acquisitions, in what it says is a highly fragmented market.
