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.

Target

Founded in 1950 in the heart of Italy's "Motor Valley," Poggipolini has evolved from a traditional mechanical workshop into a global leader in the design and manufacturing of critical fasteners and high-precision mechanical systems. The company specializes in hot-forged titanium components and special alloys used in extreme environments (F1, Supercar, Motorsports, Aerospace and Defense). Poggipolini supplies critical structural parts for helicopters, aircraft, and spacecraft, counting Leonardo, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Safran among its clients. Notably, it has signed protocols with NASA for space engineering solutions.
