Owners of Tranzit Group signed a joint venture agreement with the listed, French LDC Group. As part of the agreement (following the necessary approvals from competition authorities), LDC acquires a 70% ownership in Tranzit Group, which will thus become LDC Group’s leading interest in Hungary and Southeastern Europe, remaining to be led by the Szabó family who retain 30% ownership.
