Italian dairy company Sabelli has acquired white-label mozzarella producer Trevisanalat from private equity firm Alto Partners.
The transaction will create a mozzarella cheese hub with Made in Italy status and sales in excess of €120 million.
Gattai, Minoli, Agostinelli & Partners advised the private equity firm on the sale.
Trevisanalat is one of Italy’s largest mozzarella producers based on volume output, and its merger with Sabelli will create ‘a market leader’ specialising in one of Italy’s most well-known exports, reports said.
“It is a great achievement for our company and for the entire Made In Italy system,” said Sabelli joint CEOs Angelo Galeati and Simone Mariani. “After years of continuous organic growth, the acquisition of a major player like Trevisanalat [is an] opportunity to strengthen our position in the industry in which we operate, and become leaders abroad.”
