De Cecco acquires Russian pasta group for $55m

FBR Staff Writer Published 20 October 2011

Italian pasta company De Cecco has completed the acquisition of PMK group, which accounts for about 10% of the Russian pasta market, for €40m ($55m). De Cecco acquired the group from Russian holding Ekoofice.

The acquisition gives De Cecco control of three factories based in Moscow, Smolensk and Saint Petersburg, with total output of 100,000 tonnes a year, as well as a commercial and logistics outpost in the Russian capital.

De Cecco said it saw a strong growth potential for its products in Russia, and would invest an extra €30m ($41.36m) in its Italian plants to increase the production capacity, Reuters reported.

De Cecco, based in the central Italian province of Abruzzo, generates 45% of its sales outside Italy

De Cecco was advised by Deloitte and KPMG for the acquisition.
