We thank all the parties involved for their support in delivering this transaction, with a special note to the employees of FIMER who have been steadfast throughout the turbulent past two years. FIMER, with our support, can now start the long journey of regaining the trust and confidence of its many stakeholders by delivering on its promises and potential. Our plans are clear: we wish to re-establish Fimer as a world leader in its field. We will do all we can to achieve this. " - said Marc Meyohas, Managing Partner of Greybull Capital
