Pirola Corporate Finance served as exclusive financial advisor to Acmi S.p.a., a manufacturer Emilia-based bottling and packaging lines, in the sale of the company to Omnia Technologies, a group headquartered in Veneto created by independent companies of the European investment fund Investindustrial and specialized in technology solutions for the beverage. The Magri family, which founded and led Acmi S.p.a. to date, will reinvest in Omnia Technologies and maintain an apical role at the helm of the new high-speed beverage hub, in coordination with Group management. Giacomo Magri, founder of Acmi S.p.a.:” The sector has been characterized by numerous concentration operations promoted, with ups and downs, by foreign multinationals. We believe that a Made In Italy excellence like the group Omnia can establish itself in this competitive scenario thanks to our engineering solutions, expertise, technical technical capacity and widespread presence in international markets, bringing benefits to the entire supply chain.” The creation of the new high-speed beverage division will significantly expand the portfolio of Omnia Technologies within the bottling and packaging industry, enhancing its ability to offer cutting-edge end-to-end solutions to customers in the high-speed beverage industry, thanks in part to the synergies with beverage processing machinery and technologies designed and manufactured by TMCI Padovan and Della Toffola, brands that are already part of Omnia Technologies. Pirola Corporate Finance assisted Acmi in relation to the negotiation and commercial aspects, providing direct support in the preparation and coordination of due diligence activities with a team coordinated by founding partner Ludovico Mantovani and composed of Marco Gregorini (managing director), Andrea Ancarani (senior analyst) and the analysts Daniele Rosso and Lorenzo Berardicurti. With this advisory Pirola Corporate Finance also confirms its specialization in the field of automation industry in which it has been a protagonist with the operations EMS, Turatti, ICF Welko, Teknoice, Pama, Escher Mixers, FBL and TMCI Padovan.
