Ardian acquired 100% of Celli from Consilium (70%) and the founding family (30%). The management team reinvested alongside Ardian to hold a minority stake. The deal ended a successful six-year holding by Consilium, during which Celli completed four acquisitions (ADS2, Cosmetal, Angram, FJE Plastic). Ardian's entry is designed to accelerate international expansion and further leverage Celli's digital IT platform for remote dispenser management.
