Griesson – de Beukelaer invests in biscuits production
German biscuits manufacturer Griesson - de Beukelaer is investing around €100m ($117.5m) to boost production at its factory in the eastern town of Wurzen. In a statement, the family-owned company said it will build a new production hall as well as a logistics centre with an automated 'high-bay' warehouse at the Wurzener Dauerbackwaren plant. The group will also add a 'modern' social and administrative building at the site, while the investment also includes the adoption of 'state-of-the-art' technologies. Slated for completion by 2027, the expansion will increase production capacity for Griesson - de Beukelaer's fruit-filled chocolate biscuits, which are available in a range of flavours such as orange, cherry and strawberry. The company also operates two other production facilities in towns further west in Polch and Kahla. Its brands include Griesson, De Beukelaer, Prinzen Rolle, Leicht & Cross and Cereola. The company also supplies private-label products. The expansion at Wurzen is expected to create up to 100 jobs, including roles for electronics technicians, food technologists, engineers, and apprenticeships for those starting their careers. CEO Dany Schmidt said: "With the future strength of a high-performance family business, we are continuing the development at our Wurzener Dauerbackwaren plant. Dedication and passion for baking characterise our team and our work in a sustainable and crisis-proof industry." Griesson - de Beukelaer, which has its headquarters in Polch, generated turnover of €723m in 2024, up 5% year on year. Announcing the result in January, the company said the increase in turnover came from "necessary price increases and changes in the product mix". It was the first time Griesson - de Beukelaer had made a turnover of more than €700m. "In addition to the branded business, sales in the private label segment also developed positively," Schmidt said in a statement at the time. Around 55% of its sales are generated outside Germany.

Petro-Victory and ATE to merge for growth and asset diversification
Petro-Victory Energy has signed a binding memorandum of understanding with a publicly traded Brazilian energy company, Azevedo & Travassos Energia (ATE). It will be acquired by ATE, forming a consolidated entity. The merger is aimed at increasing shareholder value through strategic growth and asset diversification. ATE will undertake a capital increase through a private placement of 205.48 million units at 0.73 reais ($0.134) per unit, amounting to 150m reais ($27m). The capital increase is a precursor to ATE's acquisition of Petro-Victory, which will see the latter's shareholders become part of ATE. Certain Petro-Victory shareholders will then convert their claims into new common shares. ATE will acquire 100% of Petro-Victory's issued and outstanding shares, issuing 266 million ATE shares to Petro-Victory's shareholders at 0.73 reais per share. Shareholders will receive a 10% gross overriding royalty on new production from existing and future fields, excluding certain reservoirs partnered with Eneva. ATE will also assume Petro-Victory's outstanding debt, with the transaction's enterprise value estimated at $39.5m, inclusive of net debt and before any valuation for contingent payments. The share consideration offers a premium to Petro-Victory's shareholders based on the closing price as of 2 July 2025. The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the completion of the capital increase by 12 July 2025 with a possible thirty-day extension, and the negotiation of a definitive agreement within 120 days post-capital increase. The agreement will necessitate corporate and governmental approvals, third-party consents and comprehensive audits by both parties. Both companies will conduct due diligence and expect to negotiate and sign a definitive agreement within 120 days of the capital increase. The transaction, classified as a reviewable disposition by TSXV standards, requires approval from Petro-Victory's shareholders and the TSXV. If completed, Petro-Victory will apply to delist from the TSXV as it will no longer meet the listing requirements post-acquisition. In April 2025, Petro-Victory Energy completed the acquisition of Capixaba Energia in partnership with BlueOak Investments, strengthening its position in Brazil's onshore energy sector.
