“CFI was a key partner on this transaction and I’m deeply thankful to CFI Portugal team for the work done through the whole process.” – Nuno Cerqueira, Sadorent CEO

“CFI had a key role since the beginning in the process of acquisition of Sadorent. Without CFI the successful conclusion of the business wouldn’t be possible.

The process was on hold during the COVID lockdown in early 2020, and in May 2021 it was decided to relaunch it through an international process, led by the Portuguese Team, amongst international industrials and private equity firms. The process resulted in a successful transaction with LEASYS on December 21, 2021.
