Greek Yeast (Vivartia): The "Silent" Acquisition, Strong 2025, and Arambatzis' New Bet

Greek Yeast, under the control of the CVC investment fund, is demonstrating strong growth and increasing value, with the aim of a successful sale in the future. The sale price is estimated to exceed €400 million, based on the financial results of 2025. Simultaneously, the company's founder, Michalis Arambatzis, is planning new business activity in the bakery sector through Arzy Bakery AE. Greek Yeast, after the sale of Barbastathis, is Vivartia's most important asset. The company recently acquired Trofognosia AE, further strengthening its presence in the frozen dough products market. Arzy Bakery has already made significant investments in real estate and equipment, while its strategy focuses on export activity.
