Atlantic Grupa said the deal fitted in with its strategy of selling off its non-core operations. The unit’s production plants had been previously sold to the Belgian company Aminolabs.
In 2018, the unit recorded sales of HRK133.7m (US$20.1m), 2.5% of the company’s total sales.
Neven Vrankovic, vice president for corporate activities at Atlantic Grupa, said Genuport was the “logical choice of partner in this process”.
He added: “We believe that Genuport will continue to develop the brands with a long tradition in a focused and committed manner, and that, by applying the knowledge it holds when it comes to distribution, it will position itself even better in this fast-growing market segment.”
