Audiovisual production company Secuoya has brought on a new key shareholder: Gala Capital has acquired 14% of its share capital by purchasing 1.13 million shares valued at approximately €10.7 million. The stake was acquired from the company’s management team, which still retains 25%. Following the transaction, Alantra remains the majority shareholder with a 56.2% stake, while the remaining 4.8% is freely traded on Spain’s Alternative Stock Market (MAB), where Secuoya is valued at around €71 million.
Gala Capital’s entry comes shortly after Secuoya signed a deal with Netflix, which has chosen to establish its Spanish-language content production hub at the “Ciudad de la Tele” facility in Tres Cantos. This partnership strengthens Secuoya’s role as a strategic partner in audiovisual content development across Europe and Latin America.
Founded in 2011, Secuoya is a leader in outsourced production services for television, working with over 200 clients through a conglomerate of 26 companies. The firm follows a clear international expansion strategy, with a presence in markets such as Chile and Colombia.
For Gala Capital, this marks its second investment on the MAB, following its stake in MásMóvil. The firm invested in the telecom company in 2015, witnessing its transition to the main stock market and the exponential growth in its value. Gala still holds a 6.15% stake in MásMóvil, currently valued at nearly €2 billion.
Gala Capital CEO Íñigo González de Luna emphasized the firm’s intention to support Secuoya’s current strategy without interference, highlighting the strong performance of the management team led by Raúl Berdonés and Pablo Jimeno, as well as the majority shareholder Alantra.
Gala Capital, chaired by Carlos Tejera, is one of Spain’s largest private investment groups. With offices in Madrid, Valencia, and Dubai, it has executed over 80 transactions totaling more than €2 billion. The firm operates across direct investment, private equity, fintech, and venture capital.
Notable investments include companies such as Neutra, Iberfribra, AT-Biotech, Farsens, Technoactivity, Giko, Wifo, and Beka Finance, where it recently acquired a 30% stake. Gala Capital has also launched a new fund of over €200 million focused on mid-sized companies and is exploring new opportunities, including a potential entry into the tourism group Globalia.
