The value of this transaction is EUR 6.1 million and the one-off capital gain from it is EUR 3.5 million, which will be recorded under other business income for the fourth quarter. The Beltton-Group companies will continue operating in the facilities at Manttaalitie, Vantaa, as usual. Beltton and Alpha I Oy have signed a long-term agreement on Beltton renting the facilities.

In accordance with its strategy, Beltton will use the gain from this transaction for possible corporate arrangements and to strengthen its capital structure. ”Being a company striving for profitable growth, company acquisitions are a key part of our strategy. Capital released with this real estate sale can be allocated to strengthening our capital structure, as well as potential company acquisitions. I believe that the sale and lease-back is a good solution for us, both strategically and in practice,” says Heikki Vienola, CEO of Beltton-Group Plc.
