MILAN – Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group, one of the world’s leading companies in producing, processing and distributing coffee, has strengthened its presence in Central and Southern Italy thanks to the integration agreement achieved with Saicaf, a historic company based in Bari and the producer of the coffee of the same name.
The transaction, which was motivated by the strong complementarity of the product range and commercial synergies, strengthens Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group in Central and Southern Italy, and it is consistent with the growth objectives in unmanned and strategic areas.
Thus, the historic Saicaf brand becomes part of a group that operates in 110 countries around the world with a portfolio of over 40 brands — some internationally known and others that are leaders in local markets — thanks to an identity capable of blending tradition with new market trends.
Baker McKenzie assisted Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group with a team led by Partner Pietro Bernasconi with Senior Associate Federica Longo and Associate Margherita Pasi, and with the support of Of Counsel Roberto Lazzarone and Associate Marzio Bucciol for the tax law aspects.
