An extraordinarily dynamic story
Active for more than 30 years and always Italian family-owned, our Group has been developing rapidly through the organic growth of our proprietary brands and the acquisition of new ones. The acquisition strategy was initially aimed at brands previously owned by global corporations, and later at promising independent companies in the Health & Beauty, Personal & Home Care sectors. Over the past ten years, we have mainly focused on acquisitions in the international European market, the pharmaceutical world and the e-commerce sector.
What we are today is not only the result of our ability to effectively integrate new businesses into the Group, but also the result of our ability to develop them substantially, thereby achieving continuous growth. Today, we are home to more than 20 strategic brands that represent our strength: some are classic brands that are more than 50 years old and have been able to evolve by interpreting new market trends, while others are more recent success stories.
From international brands in constant development to iconic national brands, each has a strong identity and a distinctive positioning in its respective market.
