Nexture S.p.A., a global integrated group specialising in high-quality food ingredients and value-added solutions, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sipral Padana S.r.l., an Italian producer of semi-finished, value-added food ingredients. Nexture is held by an independently managed investment subsidiary of Investindustrial VII L.P.
Headquartered in Bagnolo Cremasco near Crema, Sipral Padana employs over 130 people and operates five production facilities across Italy. The company is expected to generate revenues exceeding €80 million in the year ending December 31, 2025, with products sold in more than 20 countries worldwide. Sipral’s diversified portfolio includes fat-based creams and fillings, fats and oils, nut-based ingredients, artisanal gelato ingredients, bakery mixes and ready-to-use breakfast solutions, marketed under well-known brands such as Marcagel, Effedue, Facci, Creami, Casa della Mandorla and Living Breakfast.
The acquisition is aimed at expanding Nexture’s offering in semi-finished value-added ingredients while adding strong capabilities in fat-based and nut-based solutions.
Commenting on the transaction, Gabriele Del Torchio, CEO of Nexture, said the combination would enhance the group’s global market presence and reinforce its commitment to promoting Italian know-how and premium ingredients worldwide.
Gianpietro Corbari, CEO of Sipral, said joining Nexture and Investindustrial would accelerate Sipral’s international growth and allow the company to offer a broader range of high-quality ingredients to customers across Europe and beyond.
Following the recently announced acquisition of Frulact, the Sipral transaction represents another key step in Nexture’s buy-and-build strategy supported by Investindustrial’s value-creation advisory team. Since Investindustrial’s entry, Nexture has evolved from a single platform into a global group with estimated pro-forma annual revenues of around €1.2 billion.
Upon completion of the Frulact and Sipral acquisitions, Nexture’s industrial footprint is expected to expand to 29 factories worldwide, with its workforce growing to over 2,800 employees and R&D centres increasing to 21. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
