Management & Private Investors invests in Poggipolini

ITALY Industrial Equipment / Components EV €100–350M

Context

The founding family of Poggipolini signed an agreement to repurchase the minority stake (approx. 28.6%) held by a Club Deal organized by Cherry Bay Capital since 2020. This "Club Deal" brought together about thirty prominent industrial entrepreneurs who provided capital and strategic guidance to transform the company. During their five-year tenure, the investors supported a massive scaling of the business, which grew from EUR14 million in revenue in 2020 to a projected EUR57 million in 2025. This growth was fueled by organic expansion into the Space/Defense sectors and two key acquisitions: Aviomec in Italy and Houston Precision Fasteners (HPF) in the USA. The family is now taking back 100% control of the group, offering a lucrative exit to the club deal investors.

Poggipolini, which reported an EBITDA margin of [members only] in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 5x–12x, standing directly in line with the average observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.3x in 2025).
