Dentons advised Upfield, a company backed by KKR, a global private equity fund, on the acquisition of a distribution company and production assets in a spreads products factory in Katowice.

The transaction was part of KKR's global acquisition of Unilever's margarine and spreads business for more than €6.8 billion and was one of the largest private equity deals in Europe in 2017. Its Polish part closed in January 2019.

The Dentons team advising on the Polish part of the transaction included partner Paweł Grabowski, counsel Marcin Paliwoda and associate Robert Semczuk from the M&A group and Jakub Sobotkowski, counsel in the Real Estate group.
