Penta is a Central Europe investment group founded in 1994 in Slovakia by Czech Marek Dospiva and Slovaks Jaroslav Haščák, Juraj Herko, Martin Kúšik and Jozef Oravkin.
Today, the group actively develops companies and projects, primarily in healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, real estate and media. Having grown from a local to international company, Penta operates in more than ten markets across Europe, providing more than 37,000 jobs through investee companies. In financial year 2015, Penta achieved a consolidated net profit of EUR 200 mln and increased total portfolio assets to EUR 7 bln.[1]
The name Penta is a tribute to the original five founding partners, all schoolmates during their studies in Moscow and Czechoslovakia.
Penta Investments group and its co-owner Jaroslav Haščák have been associated with the Gorilla scandal, a corruption affair that erupted in Slovakia in 2012.[2][3] The company has been denying the allegations and interpreted the "Gorilla" file as fabricated.[4][5] In 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that wiretapping of Slovak secret service was unlawful.[6]
