Convenience food group Univeg is remaining tight-lipped as to suggestions it might go public in two years.
Reports circulating in the Belgian media suggest the listing is linked to the release of funds from global private equity company CVC Capital Partners, although this has not been confirmed. CVC Capital Partners owns part of Univeg.
Speaking to just-food, a Univeg spokesperson said: “The rumours about the stock exchange is speculation that we read in the Belgian press. We do not give any comments on this at this time.”
The listing speculation comes in the same week as Univeg appointed new CEO Rudi De Becker, replacing former incumbent Hein Deprez who will become the company’s chairman.
Univeg operates in 23 countries across four continents.
