We are convinced of Refresco's unique value-add capabilities, its growth initiatives and a proven M&A track record, and we look forward to the next phase of this journey." "As an institutional investor with a long-term perspective, supporting strong management teams and market leading companies is core to our private equity program. We are in full agreement with Frédéric's comments and are very happy to continue this partnership with management, PAI and KKR," said Julian Remedios, Senior Managing Director, Private Equity, BCI.
