Business Forum
Trinity Investments Management has officially launched on Wednesday, becoming the first private equity fund in CEE dedicated exclusively to the food sector. 

Approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA), the fund will target medium-sized, family-owned food businesses primarily in Poland and Romania, which together represent over 57% of the CEE population and more than 53% of the region's GDP.  

Backed by anchor investor Scandia Food Group, a major Romanian food conglomerate with 2024 revenues of €160 million, the fund is led by General Partners Andrei Ursulescu (right in picture) and Mateusz Topp (left in picture). 

The founding team brings a proven track record of 7 successful acquisitions in under 6 years, according to a LinkedIn post of the fund.
