Pérez-Llorca advises Fremman on stake acquisition in AGQ
Pérez-Llorca has advised Fremman Capital on signing an agreement with Portobello Capital Structured Partnerships to acquire its stake in AGQ Labs, a provider of testing and analysis services. Following the transaction, Fremman will join AGQ’s founders, Estanislao Martínez and Coral Zamora, to support the company’s next phase of growth.
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Seville, AGQ operates in more than 30 countries through a network of 22 laboratories, with approximately 1,200 employees.

During this period, AGQ has completed eight add-on acquisitions, expanding its service offering and geographic footprint, now present in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. With this agreement, Fremman will support AGQ in accelerating its international expansion plans.
