Italian Strategic Fund invests in Casalasco

07/04/2025 - Press release , Madeleine Royère-Koonings
The Italian Strategic Fund (FSI) has announced a significant €200 million investment in Casalasco Società Agricola S.p.A., a leading Italian agri-food company specializing in the cultivation, processing, and marketing of tomato-based products and other agricultural goods. This investment is part of a strategic partnership with Casalasco's reference shareholder, Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro, and marks the successful divestment of QuattroR's stake in the company.

Casalasco, known for its iconic "Made in Italy" brands like De Rica, Pomì, and Pummarò, has experienced substantial growth in recent years. Since QuattroR's initial €100 million investment in 2021, the company's revenues have surged from €330 million to over €600 million, driven by strategic acquisitions including Emiliana Conserve, De Martino, Knorr Tomato al Gusto, and the Pummarò, Polpabella and Sugo Lampo brands. This growth has been accompanied by significant investments in industrial plants, energy efficiency, water conservation, and the establishment of an advanced Innovation Center, as well as the recent diversification into pesto and basil-based products.

FSI's investment aims to propel Casalasco's international expansion and establish it as a European leader in the sustainable agri-food sector, targeting €1.5 billion in revenues. FSI recognizes Casalasco's commitment to sustainability, emphasizing its integrated supply chain, "zero-kilometer" sourcing, and environmentally responsible agricultural practices. This focus aligns with the European Commission's "Farm to Fork" strategy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The transaction strengthens the role of Casalasco's agricultural member farms, who will increase their stake in the company through the Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro. QuattroR, having successfully executed its "Money-In" strategy, may reinvest in Casalasco through its MidCap fund.

Both FSI and Casalasco's management express optimism about the company's future. FSI envisions a stock market listing for Casalasco, with a capitalization exceeding €1 billion, creating a significant listed company in the Italian agri-food sector.

“The FSI investment represents an important growth accelerator for Casalasco and its supply chain” – stated Costantino Vaia, CEO of Casalasco. “Together with FSI, we are now committed to shaping the future of Casalasco and its farmers stakeholders, focusing on development and value creation”.
