CET acted as financial advisor to Arla Foods in disposal process of its Polish subsidiary. CET advised Arla Foods in negotiation of transaction conditions with the investor, and managed the transaction process including due diligence and preparation of acquisition documents.

The dairy was sold to Polmlek group – one of the leading players on the Polish dairy market.
