CONTAKT – Romania's #1 mobile accessories retailer seeking a strategic or financial partner to build the leading CEE platform

WHO WE ARE

CONTAKT is the #1 mobile accessories & gadgets retailer and distributor in Romania — twice the size of the next two competitors combined. Built over 23 years of execution, the business operates 240+ retail islands in prime mall locations across the country, with a plan to double the network within the next 3 years.

• Revenue 2025: USD 30M

• EBITDA 2025: USD 5M (15.6% margin, consistently above 15%)

• 1,000,000+ customers served in 2025

• 400,000+ active users in the Contakt loyalty app — a data and recurring-revenue platform

• Direct Asian sourcing, 34 own brands and premium distribution rights

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Central & Eastern European mobile accessories market is estimated at EUR 4bn and is highly fragmented, with significant consolidation potential. CONTAKT is already the leading player in the region's largest market and has initiated its international expansion. Our objective is to transform CONTAKT from a national leader into the leading mobile accessories platform across CEE.

THE PLAN (3–5 YEARS)

• 2x — double the business organically, replicating our proven store formulas in identified whitespace

• 3x — triple the business through M&A, acting as the consolidation vehicle for the fragmented CEE market

• Target: USD 100M+ turnover, becoming the leading platform in the CEE region

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A strategic or financial partner willing to invest USD 20–30M into the CEE growth plan. We are open to three types of partners:

• Private equity, growth capital, family offices and buy-and-build investors with an interest in CEE consumer retail and distribution

• Asian manufacturers and industry players seeking distribution and retail access to CEE: you manufacture, we distribute and retail

• Asian consumer brands seeking market entry: you have the product, we have the market — launch in Romania, CEE distribution, retail, brand building and possible regional exclusivity

WHY CONTAKT

• Capital-light expansion model: new locations require minimal fit-out and low rent, with marginal cost

• Operational intelligence in securing highly profitable mall locations, refined over 23 years

• New business streams and growth vectors can be tested and scaled quickly and cost-effectively

• For an Asian partner, CONTAKT provides what is hardest to build from abroad: CEE distribution, retail footprint, mall relationships, brand building and local market know-how

MEET US AT THE SUMMIT

We will attend the Belt and Road Summit in person on 9–10 September and are available for 1-to-1 Deal-Making meetings, as well as online sessions on 14–15 September. Opening question for any partner: would you be interested in discussing a strategic partnership to build the leading mobile accessories platform in CEE?
