Livingstone acted as exclusive financial advisor to Rigoni di Asiago S.r.l. (“Rigoni di Asiago”), a heritage brand renowned for its organic jams and spreadable creams, in connection with its acquisition of Ambrosiae S.r.l. (“Ambrosiae”), a fast-growing company specializing in raw, plant-based functional foods.
A pioneer in Italy’s organic food sector, Rigoni di Asiago is 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 led by the third generation with the backing of financial investor Kharis Capital, the company has a turnover exceeding € 130 million.
Founded in 2014 and based in Italy’s Marche region, Ambrosiae produces high-quality organic snacks and breakfast foods — such as granola, porridge, and bars — sold 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 is focused on driving innovation, optimizing processes, and enhancing production and service capabilities. The combined expertise and shared values of the two companies — with a common commitment to quality and sustainability — form 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 expanding into a new and promising segment of the breakfast market.” Giulia Guzzo, Partner at Livingstone.
“Sharing our common values – such as customer focus, valuing our staff, respecting the environment, and fair negotiation with suppliers – will continue to guide our future objectives. 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.
