About LaMasă
LaMasă is Aquila's semi-prepared and ready meal brand, with a portfolio of 26 products after eleven launches in 2025. Nine of those were a sous-vide range made for the hospitality trade rather than the supermarket, a direction the company explains by the demand from professional kitchens for consistency and cost control. Like Gradena and Yachtis it came to Aquila with the Agrirom acquisition of 2019, and like them it grew 16 per cent in 2025.

Aquila is a Romanian distribution and logistics group founded in Ploiești in 1994 by Alin Adrian Dociu and Constantin Cătălin Vasile, and listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange in November 2021. It carries more than 22,000 products to over 78,000 points of sale across Romania, Moldova and Hungary on a fleet of more than 1,600 vehicles, and most of what it moves belongs to somebody else: Kinder, Lavazza, Whiskas and Mutti are the examples it gives. Its own brands, which it began assembling when it bought and merged the food importer Agrirom in 2019, produced about 4 per cent of the RON 3.5 billion it turned over in 2025.
