Roto dinamic, a national distributor of food and beverages operating within the Fortenova group, has completed the acquisition of Hermo from Varaždin, a regional company for wholesale and retail of beverages with locations in Varaždin, Ludbreg, and Ivanec.

Thus, Roto expands its customer base by 500 new partners, further positioning itself in the area of Northwestern Croatia, where it strengthens its distribution network and enhances service quality.

At the same time, this acquisition consistently follows the company’s strategy of consolidating the wholesale and retail market, thereby further solidifying its leading market position in Croatia and ensuring the long-term sustainability of its business model.

This acquisition is a continuation of our market consolidation strategy. We are proud that, along with new customers, more than 30 employees of Hermo are joining us, as this expands our strength and experience while ensuring business continuity. We are particularly pleased to introduce two new brands to our portfolio – Stiegl beer from Austria and Petovia liqueur from Slovenia – which will further enrich our offering.

This acquisition means much more than numbers – it brings new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and growth, as well as strengthening our common goal – for Roto dinamic to remain the first choice for customers and partners in Croatia – stated Maja Novak, a member of the Management Board of Roto dinamic who also takes on the role of Chairwoman of the Management Board of the new member of the Roto system. Hermo will continue to operate under the same brand in the upcoming period.

Marijan Bilić, former co-owner of Hermo, emphasizes that his company has over 30 years of experience in the dynamic beverage distribution environment.

Today, we can proudly say that we have become part of Roto Dinamic, which recognized the value and results of our business. I am confident that this acquisition will provide an additional impetus for further development, strengthening our market position, and improving service to our customers and partners – concluded Bilić.
