Deal details

Loda, manufacturer and distributor of cleaning and maintenance products for the retail market, marks a new chapter in its growth trajectory.

The company is facing a new round of investment due to increasing demand and the drive for geographical expansion. To achieve this growth, Loda sought a sounding board and supportive shareholder. The company found a new partner with the investment company Down2Earth which now acquires a solid majority of the company.
