Arma Partners is pleased to announce that it has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Rohlik Group on a growth financing provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing expands the EIB’s support for Rohlik, deepening a partnership first established in 2024.
Founded in Prague in 2014, Rohlik Group has built the definitive industry model for online grocery and is fast becoming Europe’s food retail technology leader. Having expanded beyond the Czech Republic to Hungary, Austria, Germany and Romania, Rohlik has built a decade of proprietary technology into Veloq, its AI-powered platform for same-day grocery fulfilment, moving from rapid market expansion to the development of scalable, proprietary technology with the potential to benefit the wider European retail and logistics ecosystem. Veloq packages the automation, software and AI-driven processes that Rohlik has proven across its own markets into a platform that enables other grocers to offer profitable, full-basket same-day delivery on their customers’ schedule.
The financing will accelerate the commercial scale-up of Veloq as it expands to grocers across Europe and the United States.
This transaction underscores the position of Arma Partners as the advisor of choice for high-growth category-redefining companies across Europe, bringing the total capital it has raised for Rohlik to more than $500 million across multiple transactions in recent years.
