Deale, the first independent digital M&A platform focused on helping SMEs connect more efficiently with investors and advisors, has been particularly active in Catalonia during the first half of the year. The firm has reaffirmed its role as a driver of business growth in the region, facilitating mergers and acquisitions worth approximately €9 million.
Deale participated in the transfer of Eurofusters, a company with over 25 years of experience in manufacturing and installing wooden furniture and carpentry work. Due to the lack of generational succession, Eurofusters – with revenues of €1.5 million – was acquired by Gerard Illeras, an individual investor aiming to establish a strong foothold in the sector. Illeras is currently seeking to grow through further acquisitions in the construction industry, with the goal of building a vertically integrated group.
In another transaction, the platform managed the acquisition — in just 142 days — of an insurance brokerage firm with annual revenues of €1 million, highlighting the strength of the Insurtech sector in the region.
These transactions showcase Deale’s ability to streamline and professionalize M&A processes, ensuring both confidentiality and successful outcomes for all parties involved. The platform currently has three additional deals in Catalonia at an advanced stage, in the sectors of transportation, food distribution, and gourmet products, with a combined estimated value of €6.3 million.
Gerard García, Founder and CEO of Deale, stated: “Our platform is transforming the way business transactions are carried out in Catalonia. We’ve not only succeeded in making these processes more efficient, transparent, and secure, but we’re actively contributing to the growth and consolidation of Catalonia’s business fabric. Every closed deal represents a preserved opportunity, a legacy that continues, and a new phase of development for these companies. The trust placed in us by players from such diverse sectors shows that Deale’s digital and collaborative model is not just the future of M&A — it’s already a consolidated reality.”
