Astorg is delighted to confirm the completion of the demerger of Fastmarkets, a leading global cross-commodity price reporting agency (PRA) serving the metals, mining, forest products, energy transition and agriculture markets, from Delinian, formerly Euromoney. 

Fastmarkets will operate as a stand-alone entity, owned and controlled by Astorg, with the remaining Delinian business operating under the majority ownership and control of Epiris. The demerger will enable Fastmarkets to pursue their ambitious growth plans as an independent business and we are excited to support Fastmarkets in this next phase of growth.
