Interview with Moncef Belkhayat, Chairman Dislog group
What's the point of launching the factory? Edita for Dislog Group?
Dislog, which was initially a distributor, has taken a strategic turn over the last two years to become an industrial company. We have made a number of acquisitions in the industrial sector, including Fater, Fine and a detergent company, followed by the acquisition of KPH, a laboratory specializing in the pharmaceutical sector. Today, we are launching a new investment with Edita Egypt, within the framework of a joint venture, enabling us not only to be a reference shareholder, but also the distributor of the brands produced in this Edita plant in Morocco. I'd also like to take this opportunity to announce the launch of our baby diapers line. In this way, we are consolidating our industrial pole as part of our vision to prepare the Dislog Group for an IPO at the end of 2024.
What's the status of the merger between Dislog Industrie and Dislog Distribution?
We have just received approval from the French competition authorities for the merger of Dislog Industrie and Dislog Distribution. Consequently, we announce that the Board of Directors has approved this merger. Today, we become an industrial and distribution group with several subsidiaries, operating in three product families, namely food, hygiene and pharmaceutical products. As a result, our business becomes much more comprehensible to customers and consumers. We are a brand developer and gas pedal.
