(content in spanish)

El fondo de inversión americano Tensile Capital podría haber presentado una oferta para la adquisición de la compañía española TAU Cerámica, debiendo conservar la marca TAU Cerámica y asumir la deuda resultante tras el proceso de venta.

La intención del fondo americano podría ser la misma que llevó a cabo con la reciente compra de la también española Nules Keraben Grupo (ver transacción relacionada), la de sanear la sociedad y mejorar su rentabilidad con el objetivo de desinvertir a medio o largo plazo.

El proceso de negociación de Tensile no sólo se centra en el grupo azulejero español, sino tendrá que pasar por sus entidades acreedoras, principalmente los bancos Santander, BBVA y Bankia. Dicha deuda se aproxima a los EUR 50m.
