Gruppo Fabbri Vignola, leading company in the packaging sector with a well-established international presence, is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of G.F. Packaging España S.A., a Spanish company operating in the same sector and already a long-standing dealer for Gruppo Fabbri Vignola in the Iberian Peninsula, North Africa, and South America.

This operation represents a further strategic step in strengthening Fabbri’s position in the European market. With this move, the Group expands its existing network of branches across the continent, consolidating its presence both in the sales of innovative food packaging solutions and in technical after-sales support – including regular and extraordinary maintenance, production line integration, and spare parts services.

At the same time, the well-rooted presence of G.F. Packaging España in regions such as North Africa and South America offers a development opportunity that aligns with the Group’s market strategy in these areas, just as is already happening overseas.

“This acquisition reflects our commitment to providing increasingly integrated and effective responses to the needs of our clients and the food packaging industry as a whole. Despite the current regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty, we are confident in the strength of our strategy – one based on sustainability, research, innovation, and care for people and the environment. These are the enabling values of a conscious industrial approach, built on solid partnerships such as the one we have established over the years with G.F. Packaging España. These same values are shared by our reference shareholder, Argos Wityu, who continues to actively support us in achieving our
strategic goals” stated Stefano Pellegatta, CEO of Fabbri Group.

Former owners Manel Flotats and his son Joan commented: “This operation marks an important step forward that will help us consolidate the growth path we have followed in recent years and further enhance our expertise. Providing the packaging market with a wider range of practical and timely products and services will remain our priority, and we are confident that this new corporate structure will strengthen that commitment.”

Manel and Joan Flotats have sold 100% of the share capital of G.F. Packaging España S.A. but will remain part of the company’s management team, actively contributing to the development plans of
Fabbri Group.

Gruppo Fabbri Vignola was advised by Giovannelli e Associati for corporate matters and by KPMG for accounting, labor, and tax due diligence.
