Grafin Partners had the privilege of acting as the exclusive financial advisor to Ravato in the complete sale of the company to RodOil. The transaction, which also includes the logistics company Cargopetro, represents a strategic move in Brazil’s fuel and logistics market, expanding RodOil’s presence in the B2B segment and diversifying its operations in sectors such as pulp and paper, chemicals, mining, and infrastructure.
The transaction is still subject to approval by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and the usual precedent conditions for this type of operation.

Cargopetro, the Group’s logistics company, complements the transaction by enhancing operational synergies and delivery capacity.
RodOil, on the other hand, is one of Brazil’s leading fuel distributors, with over 600 branded stations and operations in eight states, including Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais.
