Romanian law firm Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații advised Czech pharmacy chain Dr. Max, owned by Penta Investments Group, with respect to the acquisition of Fastpharm SRL, Iezer Farm SRL, Panpharma Med SRL and York Farm SRL chains, that will be further rebranded and run under the name - “Dr. Max”.

Dr. Max was established in 2004 and is a leading pharmacy chain in Central Europe. Dr. Max is wholly owned by Penta Investments, one of the largest Private Equity companies in Central Europe.

Penta Investments, with assets under management of EUR 8.5 billion, is active on ten European markets and has been present in Romania since 2015, on the sports betting and gambling market. It holds Fortuna Entertainment, who recently acquired “Casa Pariurilor”, the second largest bet shops operator, with a network of over 700 outlets. Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații’s team also acted on these deals.
