Valsa Group, international high-quality producer of pizza, pinsa, focaccia and premium savoury specialties, with Group’s offering spanning across ambient, chilled and frozen product categories, has entered into a €175 million financing agreement with Pemberton Asset Management.

The agreement, structured as the emission of notes entirely purchased by funds managed by Pemberton Asset Management, allows Valsa Group to secure up to €65 million new commitment to support future Group’s expansion, both in terms of production investments and M&A opportunities, as well as to complete current indebtedness refinancing.

The transaction is part of the overall growth and development strategy on which the Group and Aksìa, supported by Lazard as financial advisor, are currently working, aimed at preserving Aksìa’s leading role, on which Pemberton has already secured its further support with a dedicated separate commitment.
