Glissando Garden Center’s debut on the AeRO market follows a technical listing, assisted by Goldring.
‘The technical listing of Glissando Garden Center – a company with a validated business model – brings an advantage to the Bucharest Stock Exchange, primarily by the fact that it can attract an important pool of potential investors closer to the area of ??the capital market: their clients, key employees, partners, and other stakeholders. We also welcome the representation of a new sector on the local stock exchange, home & garden, a sector in the top of consumer preferences with the «urban gardening» phenomenon that the pandemic has accentuated and turned into a trend. Congratulations to Glissando Garden Center, to Mr. Ioan Biianu for the vision, and we are waiting to see other companies on the capital market, with commendable results and developments, from the Glissando brand family’, said Virgil Zahan, Goldring CEO.
