Nexxus Iberia and Buenavista Equity Partners have announced the acquisition of Shop&Roll. The transaction represents a new milestone in Nexxus Iberia’s strategy to build a European leader in shopping transport solutions and retail equipment.
Shop&Roll is a leading company specialized in the design, manufacture, and commercialization of shopping transport solutions (carts and baskets). With more than 40 years of experience, it stands out for its focus on innovation and sustainability, as well as for its strong international presence.
With this transaction, Nexxus takes a decisive step in building a leading industrial and commercial platform in Europe by integrating Shop&Roll with Creaciones Marsanz (a leader in supermarket and logistics carts, as well as retail furniture) and the Portuguese company Joalpe, specialized in baskets and visual merchandising systems.
The combined group will reach approximately €75 million in revenues, with more than 60% of its income generated outside Spain, and will benefit from strong manufacturing capabilities in Spain and Portugal. This scale will allow the group to strengthen its international positioning, with the objective of exceeding €100 million in revenues over the next three years, particularly by accelerating growth in Europe and the Americas.
Juan Pedro Dávila of Nexxus Iberia commented: “This acquisition marks a new strategic step in the creation of a leading international group in shopping transport and retail equipment, strengthening its competitiveness and its ability to better meet customer needs. It also reflects Nexxus Iberia’s ability to drive inorganic growth and international expansion projects.”
Rafael López, Managing Partner of the Private Equity Buy-Out area at Buenavista Equity Partners, stated: “At Buenavista, we are very proud of the journey we have shared with Shop&Roll. Over the years, we have worked closely with the management team to drive growth through a strategy focused on sustainable innovation, product development, and productive investment. We believe this new phase represents a natural step in Shop&Roll’s evolution, and we wish them every success.”
“In parallel, Buenavista will continue to deploy its investment strategy with a focus on OM Retail, our platform specialized in visual merchandising. This is a vertical where we see significant growth potential and where we are confident in our ability to lead the transformation of the point of sale through innovative and differentiated solutions.”
The relaunch of OM Retail
Following the divestment of the shopping transport division, Buenavista is entering a new strategic phase. The firm will continue to manage the visual merchandising business, reviving the historic OM Retail brand, focused on the design and manufacture of visual communication solutions, shelf organization systems, and specialized retail furniture, with a strong emphasis on innovation and in-store efficiency.
OM Retail’s strategic plan for the coming years focuses on further strengthening the business, where it already holds a leading position in the Spanish and Latin American markets through its subsidiary in Mexico.
