Düsseldorf, September 2021: I-ADVISE advised Kamera Express, a portfolio company of Vendis Capital, Diegem/Brussels (Belgium), on the acquisition of all shares in FOTO-GREGOR GmbH.

FOTO-GREGOR GmbH and subsidiaries, also acquired in the context of the transaction, operate in total eight photo retail stores in Germany and a web shop. The group employs circa 100 people and is headquartered in Cologne, which is also the site of group’s main store.
