\u201dWe have been building and developing Realia Group and its subsidiaries for a long time, and the Group with all its brands is very close and important to us. We decided this spring that Realia Group should continue its development in the next strategic phase supported by a new owner, and we are delighted that the new owner will be Altor, a company we know well,\u201d says\u00a0Kaj H\u00e4gglund,\u00a0<\/strong>Managing Partner at Sponsor Capital.<\/p>\n
