Alantra acted as exclusive financial advisor and placement agent to OB Streem Group, the leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider in Greece, on the raising of a €655.5mn multi-tranche syndicated bond loan facility.
The transaction optimizes OB Streem’s capital structure, refinances existing debt, and secures funding for its ongoing warehouse development projects and bolt-on acquisitions in Central Europe.
It marks a key milestone for OB Streem Group, providing the financial flexibility to deliver a pipeline of strategic projects in Greece, including the largest trimodal logistics park in Southern Europe. The financing also supports further consolidation of the Greek and broader Balkan freight forwarding and logistics sector, in a market increasingly driven by scale, infrastructure investment, and integrated service capabilities.
OB Streem was created through the acquisition and full integration of several leading Greek logistics platforms, including Makios, Orphee Beinoglou, Olympias, and Contrade. The Group has been built through a series of strategic acquisitions by H.I.G. Capital, a global alternative investment firm with approximately €65bn of assets under management. H.I.G. is one of the most active investors in Greece, where it manages a portfolio of over €1.5bn across logistics, hospitality, and mixed-use assets.
Alexandros Karafyllidis, OB Streem’s Group CEO, said: “We are proud to have secured this financing with strong support from leading financial institutions, which reflects their confidence in OB STREEM’s future. We want to thank Alantra for its tenacious and focused approach in delivering us the solution, under a tight timeline.”
George Giannakis, Managing Partner at Alantra, added: “This transaction further solidifies Alantra’s position as one of the key investment banking advisors in Greece through the successful execution of the largest ever debt transaction in the logistics and freight forwarding sector in the country. It also reflects our ability to deliver sophisticated capital solutions for market-leading businesses undergoing transformational growth, backed by global private equities, such as H.I.G. We are proud to have supported the OB Streem Group in securing a financing package that will enable the company to accelerate its development pipeline and pursue further strategic acquisitions.”
Piraeus Bank acted as Mandated Lead Arranger, while Alpha Bank and National Bank of Greece participated as Lead Underwriters, reflecting strong support from leading domestic financial institutions.
