Stock market first for Zinkia

Spanish production outfit Zinkia has succeeded in becoming the first firm to join the country’s alternative stock market, the Mercado Alternativo Bursatil for Growth Companies (MAB).

MAB is a trading platform authorised by the Spanish government and regulated by the stock market. It is aimed at small and medium-sized non-listed companies looking for increased capitalisation, liquidity, transparency and visibility among the investment community.

Madrid-based Zinkia, best known for animated TV series Pocoyo, worked with investment bank Banesto to become listed on MAB.
