EBRD supports Dislog Group’s growth strategy in Morocco

• EBRD provides US$ 25 million equity investment to Dislog Group in Morocco
• Investment to support company’s growth strategy
• Financing to enhance operational synergies and sector diversification

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is supporting Dislog Group in Morocco with a US$ 25 million (MAD equivalent) equity investment.

Founded in 2005, Dislog is a diversified and integrated Moroccan industrial group positioned at the heart of the “life economy”, with a strong presence in the hygiene, food and healthcare sectors.

The financing will strengthen the company’s capital structure and support its mergers and acquisitions strategy in Morocco.. This investment is part of a broader capital increase alongside a consortium of co-investors comprising SPE Capital, the International Finance Corporation, Sanam Holding, Sanlam and H&S Invest Holding. The funds, including EBRD’s contribution, will refinance Dislog Group’s recent acquisitions and will also support the company’s deleveraging efforts ahead of the upcoming IPO. The capital increase funds, including EBRD’s contribution, will refinance Dislog Group’s recent acquisitions and contribute to strengthening the company’s financial structure.

Dislog’s recent acquisitions are expected to deliver significant operational synergies and expand its national footprint, further reinforcing its position as a national champion across the consumer and healthcare value chains.
The transaction has received approval from all relevant authorities, including Morocco’s Competition Council. The legal advisers for this transaction were DLA Piper and Roland Berger.

Dislog Group today relies on a portfolio of over 200 brands, whether owned or operated through partnerships, and actively contributes to improving consumers’ daily lives in Morocco and Europe. The Group employs more than 3,400 people, all committed to promoting innovative and accessible brands that support households in their everyday lives. In recent years, the Group has expanded into the pharmaceutical industry and bottle-molding industries through “CMB Plastique” and now operates across three high-growth sectors: hygiene, food, and healthcare.

Morocco is a founding member of the EBRD and became a recipient of Bank resources in 2012. To date, the EBRD has invested €5.4 billion in the country through 113 projects.
