Livingstone ha assistito in qualit\u00e0 di advisor finanziario in esclusiva la famiglia Ascari e <\/strong>Itago Private Equity<\/strong><\/a> (gi\u00e0 Finint & Partners) nella cessione di <\/strong>ABL S.r.l.<\/strong><\/a> (\u201cABL\u201d), azienda italiana leader nella progettazione e produzione di macchinari per la lavorazione della frutta, al gruppo statunitense <\/strong>Gulftech International, Inc.<\/strong><\/a> (\u201cGulftech\u201d), specializzato in soluzioni ingegneristiche per l\u2019industria alimentare. Nell\u2019ambito dell\u2019operazione, la famiglia Ascari ha reinvestito in Gulftech con una partecipazione di minoranza.<\/strong><\/p>

Con sede a Cavezzo (Modena) e oltre 40 anni di storia, ABL \u00e8 oggi un punto di riferimento a livello globale nella produzione di impianti per il fresh-cut fruit, posizionandosi al quarto posto per quota di mercato mondiale. L\u2019azienda \u00e8 riconosciuta per le sue competenze ingegneristiche e la capacit\u00e0 di innovare soluzioni su misura per l\u2019industria alimentare.<\/p>

Dal 2015 ABL era partecipata da Finint & Partners (oggi Itago), fondo di private equity che ha accompagnato il percorso di crescita dell\u2019azienda e ne ha rafforzato il posizionamento industriale. La famiglia Ascari, fondatrice di ABL, ha mantenuto la maggioranza e la guida operativa del business.<\/p>

Gulftech, con sede negli Stati Uniti, \u00e8 un leader globale nelle tecnologie per la trasformazione alimentare, con un portafoglio di aziende operative che forniscono attrezzature e servizi a produttori alimentari in tutto il mondo. L\u2019acquisizione si inserisce nella strategia di espansione internazionale del gruppo attraverso operazioni M&A mirate.<\/p>

L\u2019operazione rappresenta un passaggio chiave nell\u2019evoluzione di ABL: consenteil passaggio generazionale, l\u2019uscita dell\u2019investitore finanziario e l\u2019ingresso in una piattaforma industriale internazionale orientata allo sviluppo di lungo periodo.<\/p>

\u201cQuesta operazione cross-border conferma la nostra capacit\u00e0 di connettere eccellenze industriali con investitori strategici internazionali,\u201d<\/em> ha dichiarato Luca Maccagnani Castelli<\/strong><\/a>, Managing Partner di Livingstone<\/strong>. \u201cL\u2019ingresso in Gulftech permetter\u00e0 ad ABL di crescere a livello globale, mantenendo intatto il suo patrimonio di eccellenza ingegneristica.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u201cL\u2019operazione rappresenta il compimento di un percorso avviato alcuni anni fa con l\u2019ingresso di Itago, finalizzato a conferire ad ABL un profilo sempre pi\u00f9 industriale,\u201d<\/em> ha commentato Daniela Ascari, azionista di ABL<\/strong>. \u201cSiamo convinti che porter\u00e0 benefici significativi per entrambe le parti.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Questa transazione rafforza ulteriormente il track record di Livingstone nel settore della trasformazione alimentare e conferma la sua capacit\u00e0 di supportare famiglie imprenditoriali e fondi di private equity in operazioni complesse e trasformative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
