);)
The deal was done at the beginning of May 2009: 51 % of the family business Vitalia was sold for an undisclosed sum to the entrepreneurs Harald Christ and Paul Vorsteher. At a stroke, the succession issue has been settled and enough capital has been raised to plug the credit gap being experienced by the market leader in the health food sector. “There’s enough capital available for all future plans,” Harald Christ explained in an interview with Organic-Market.Info that also included the founder of the company Bernd Büttner and the executive in charge of expansion Klaus Stocker.
