This move has led to Neuquen, representing another branch of the Puig family, increasing its control over Flamasats, now holding more than its previous 44% stake. Flamasats reported €131.3 million in consolidated sales for the last year, a 6.7% increase from 2024, with an EBITDA of €31.1 million and a net profit of €18.2 million.",
