\u201cTrinity Investments focuses on creating long-term value. We will invest in family-owned businesses that we will support to grow.

It aims to complete two transactions per year over the next five to seven years, with the first deal expected in 2025.<\/p>\n The fund\u2019s anchor investor is Romania\u2019s Scandia Group, one of the largest players in the country\u2019s food industry, which reported EUR 160 million in revenue in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trinity Investments will be co-led by Mateusz Topp and Andrei Ursulescu, CEO of Scandia Food and co-founder of the fund.
