Livingstone acted as exclusive financial advisor to Rigoni di Asiago S.r.l. (“Rigoni di Asiago”), a traditional brand known for its organic jams and spreadable creams, in connection with the acquisition of Ambrosiae S.r.l. (“Ambrosiae”), a fast-growing company specializing in raw, plant-based functional foods.
Rigoni di Asiago is a pioneer in the Italian organic food sector and a leading player in the jam market (Fiordifrutta brand), including the sugar-free segment (Natù brand), and in spreadable creams (Nocciolata brand). Founded by the Rigoni family and now managed by the third generation with the support of financial investor Kharis Capital, the company generates a turnover of over 130 million euros.
Ambrosiae was founded in 2014 and is based in the Italian region of Marche. The company produces high-quality organic snacks and breakfast products such as muesli, porridge and bars, which are marketed under the Ambrosiae and PerfectBio brands.
With the acquisition of Ambrosiae, Rigoni di Asiago strengthens its presence in the organic breakfast and snack sector, both in Italy and internationally. The integration focuses on promoting innovation, optimizing processes and improving production and service capacities. The combined know-how and shared values of the two companies – with a common commitment to quality and sustainability – provide a solid foundation for future growth.
“Ambrosiae brings a strong innovation pipeline and shares Rigoni’s values of sustainability and wellbeing. We are proud to have supported Rigoni di Asiago in its expansion into a new and promising segment of the breakfast market,” said Giulia Guzzo, Partner at Livingstone.
“Our shared values – such as customer focus, appreciation of our employees, respect for the environment and fair negotiations with suppliers – will continue to define our goals in the future. With this acquisition, we now have the opportunity to strengthen our presence in the market for breakfast products, snacks, bars and protein products,” commented Andrea Rigoni, CEO of Rigoni di Asiago.
This transaction underlines Livingstone’s expertise in the premium food sector and its role in supporting visionary consumer brands through strategic acquisitions.
