Mastrolia adds that he ‘looks forward to the opportunities presented by recent transactions’ and will provide an updated financial forecast once the acquisitions of Carrefour Italia, Plasmon and Diageo Italia are completed.
He concludes: ‘In recent months we have announced the acquisitions of Diageo Operations Italy, Plasmon and Carrefour Italia, which will be finalised shortly. These transactions will further strengthen our positioning and give new energy to the growth path of NewPrinces’.
I won’t go into the financial figures, but I’ll just say‘do it quickly, finalise the acquisition quickly’ because in the large-scale retail trade it’s very quick to disavow the business, see below a message I received a few days ago regarding this article of mine.
In the meantime I personally visited some Carrefour shops and got confirmation of what I had been told : often empty shelves, in the fresh and grocery.
