Press release: Orisha announces acquisition of Gregal, Spanish publisher
Orisha, a European software publisher dedicated to companies in the retail, real estate, healthcare, agri-food and construction sectors, announces the acquisition of Spanish software publisher Gregal, a leader in the development of software designed to meet the needs of the horticultural sector. This operation enriches the offering of the Orisha Agri-food Business Unit, just 3 months after its creation following the acquisition of Gaïana, the software publisher dedicated to the wine & spirits, horticulture and agriculture sectors.
Founded in 2000, Gregal is renowned for its innovative solutions and in-depth expertise in the agri-food sector. With this acquisition, Orisha expands its portfolio of products and services, while benefiting from Gregal’s technological know-how and solid customer base in the Iberian Peninsula.
In 2023, Orisha reorganized its activities into Business Units. The acquisition of Gregal would consolidate the offering of the Orisha Agri-food Business Unit. This acquisition is in line with Orisha’s strategy of organic and external growth, aimed at becoming an undisputed leader in the European business management software market. By integrating Gregal, Orisha not only strengthens its presence in Spain, but also its ability to provide solutions tailored to local specificities, particularly in the agri-food sector where Gregal excels.
Jairo Hernández Salvador, CEO of Gregal comments: “For Gregal, this integration with Orisha allows us to consolidate the strategy we have as a company in terms of product evolution, internationalization and improving the value proposition for the market; it confirms our commitment to being at the forefront of innovation to be able to constantly provide the best solutions to our present and future customers. We are convinced that this union will enable us to generate numerous synergies with the Group’s teams, and guarantee the development of our offering, both for our customers and our staff, to enrich the Group’s portfolio of solutions.”
Jacques Ollivier, CEO of Orisha concludes: “We are delighted to welcome the Gregal teams to Orisha. This operation marks another important step in our European expansion. In addition to geographical expansion, Gregal brings us valuable expertise and technology that will strengthen our Orisha Agri-food division, notably by extending its activity to the horticultural sector. Together, we are in a position to offer ever more effective solutions for a wide range of sectors, which is the Orisha Group’s primary mission.
