Former VikingProfil shareholders to invest in different sectors

Marius Ghenea, one of the founders of electronics retailer Flamingo, and Radu Mircescu, former shareholder (along with Ghenea) of metal tiles producer VikingProfil, will invest the 3-4 million euros they obtained from the sale of the company to Polish group Pruszynski, in tourism, energy, consulting and IT. VikingProfil used to be held by Ghenea (51%) and Mircescu (49%). "Talks on the sale of VikingProfil started in April, and were conducted in parallel with three big companies in the industry, which operate on the Polish, UK and Scandinavian markets, whilst final negotiations involved the Polish investors exclusively," said Marius Ghenea, head of VikingProfil, who did not wish to reveal the value of the transaction. The businessman will invest part of the sum secured from the sale - around 1-1.3 million euros, in the online PCfun business, a company set up by Ghenea four years ago. Radu Mircescu, who founded VikingProfil in 2006, will remain general manager of the company, after its takeover by Pruszynski, one of the leading metal tiles producers in Poland.
