Super’s Diana – Aurica Capital – ENG
CS Corporate has advised Super’s Diana on the sale of the company to Aurica Capital.
Aurica Search Fund I, the co-investment platform for entrepreneurs involved in the search and acquisition of companies managed by Aurica Capital, has acquired Super’s Diana S.L., along with a group of co-investors from the Search Fund ecosystem: the ICF (Institut Català de Finances), Moonbase Capital, Ítaca, Karim Zahran, and other investors. The transaction was carried out through Rigi Capital Partners, which acquired 100% of the company.
Founded more than 30 years ago, Super’s Diana S.L. develops, manufactures, and markets medications and supplements for the care of swine, cattle, and poultry, operating in more than 30 countries.
The investment is part of a business succession process resulting from the upcoming retirement of the owner, Francisca Margarit, after a career marked by growth and profitability. Jorge Oriol, founder and managing partner of Rigi Capital, and the searcher for the transaction, will assume leadership of the company. With over 10 years of experience in operations and supply chain, he began his career at Autoneum, driving industrial standardization programs across more than 20 plants globally. After completing his MBA at IESE Business School, he joined Johnson & Johnson, where he assumed various increasingly important responsibilities in Europe, leading strategic purchasing and supply chain programs in the EMEA region.
The company’s growth plan is structured around a combination of organic growth, boosting exports and strengthening commercial capabilities, along with inorganic growth aimed at expanding the portfolio and reinforcing profitability. In this context, Karim Zahran, an executive with extensive experience in the pharmaceutical sector, joins the project not only as an investor but also as an active member of the board and leader of the inorganic growth strategy.
