This investment has come at the perfect time for Mifa, as the company has been troubled by financial woes in recent years. The company owes creditors some €25 million.Hero will use its subsidiary OPM Global B.V. to purchase the stocks worth €15 million. The two companies will form a “strategic partnership.” Through their agreement, Hero could obtain up to a 47 percent share of the company, with an option to acquire shares from current stakeholders. This deal will offer a huge potential for the two companies to work collaboratively on sales and technology transfers.
