TEILOR is one of these companies, with a history of 20 years started in Pitesti. Today TEILOR lists corporate bonds of RON 45mn, the largest issues of a company on the Multilateral Trading System. I wish them a warm welcome and good luck’, said Radu Hanga, President of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.   ‘Today’s listing marks an important milestone for TEILOR Holding.

Our target is to reach 1 billion lei in sales by 2026 when the bonds that we are listing today on BVB will reach maturity. The success of the corporate bonds private placement, the largest in the history of the AeRO market, is a confirmation of the brand notoriety of TEILOR as well as offers us validation of our development plans and we thank all our investors for their trust’, said Mircea Varga, Board Member at TEILOR Holding.    The two private placements, one in RON and another in EUR, took place in November 2021, with the participation of 139 investors.
