Gruppo Fabbri acquires CA.VE.CO.

Gruppo Fabbri, a historic Modena-based company and market leader in the field of food packaging machinery and films, is expanding its range of action with the acquisition of CA.VE.CO., a company based in Palazzolo sull’Oglio (BS).

According to Gruppo Fabbri’s CEO Stefano Mele, the acquisition will enable the group to further strengthen its position in the strategic segment of heat-sealing machines and packaging lines, a field in which CA.VE.CO. has been operating for 40 years, sharing the acquired experience and skills while continuing to invest in the development of products and market. 

In turn, CA.VE.CO. will be able to inject greater pace into its recently initiated internationalisation process by leveraging the strength of a group whose presence spans 80 countries with 500 employees, 3 manufacturing units (2 in Italy and 1 in Switzerland) and 6 commercial and service companies in Italy, France, Germany, UK, Switzerland and Russia.

Over the years the Brescia-based company has built up a solid reputation thanks to the ruggedness and reliability of its machines and has also specialised in the dosage of problematical products such as coleslaw, semisolid products, etc. and in the supply of complete lines for the preparation of a range of food items.

Its strong market focus has enabled it to become one of the first companies in the world to acquire extensive experience in the field of protective atmosphere packaging and skin packaging of fresh meat products using heat-sealing machines. The Vellutini family will continue to hold a stake in the company and will make an active contribution to the Group’s future development.
