KKO International partners with Lacasa for a strategic operation

KKO International has announced an agreement for a capital increase with the Spanish group Lacasa SAU, a major player in the confectionery and chocolate industry. Lacasa will invest €4.68 million, acquiring a 22.32% stake in KKO International. This partnership also includes a joint venture between SHOKKO, a KKO subsidiary, and Lacasa to develop chocolate production in Côte d'Ivoire.

Lacasa will also receive 48 million share warrants, exercisable until 2032. This transaction strengthens KKO's equity, secures its short-term maturities, and accelerates its industrial development. A new governance structure, primarily composed of Lacasa members, will be established to guide this growth phase.
