Arion Bank's Corporate Advisory was the advisor to Garri ehf. in the company's acquisition of an 80% stake in Mekka Wines&Spirits hf.

Garri was founded in 1973 and has built a strong position in the corporate and restaurant market with sales of food products, packaging, and hygiene solutions.

The acquisition marks the merger of two well-established companies in the wholesale market and is an important milestone in the continued development and growth of the business.

We sincerely congratulate the shareholders of Garri and Mekka Wines&Spirits on the transaction and are confident that the collaboration will strengthen the position of both companies and create increased opportunities for growth and development in the future.
