Colombini Group, one of the leading players in the Italian furniture industry, is pleased to announce that at the end of the past year, a strategic agreement regarding the company’s shareholding was reached. The operation, carried out with full harmony and trust between the shareholders, resulted in the acquisition by Emanuel Colombini of all the shares previously split 50-50 between himself and Fich Spa, a company controlled by the family branch of Ivo Colombini.

Fich Spa was assisted as financial advisor by the Mid Cap Advisory team of EQUITA, the Italian partner of Clairfield International.

Emanuel Colombini said: “This operation, thanks to the simplification of the shareholding structure, represents a significant step for the continuity of our Group, fostering growth and development while maintaining the strong management values that have always distinguished us. I also want to thank my uncle, Ivo Colombini, for the trust he has placed in me since my entry into the company, as well as my cousins Romina, Marcello, and Denis for facilitating, through this operation, the generational transition within the Group.”

Similarly, Romina Colombini, speaking on behalf of her family branch, commented: “We made this decision with serenity, confident that Emanuel will lead the company into the future.”

This transaction marks a key milestone in the history of Colombini Group, strengthening its trajectory and demonstrating how a well-defined managerial vision can coexist with long-term family management principles that have characterized the company’s nature since its origins.
