Noberasco represents one of the best known brands in the Italian dried fruit sector characterised by high quality standards guaranteed by careful selection of raw materials and continuous product innovation.

Over the years, the company has been able to evolve, successfully anticipating new consumer trends and seizing the opportunities offered by the expansion of sales channels and development in foreign markets, while maintaining the values that have determined its success.

"The transaction," reads a note, "is part of the continuity with Noberasco's industrial and financial turnaround process that led to the signing, in December 2024, of an agreement to redefine the Company's overall debt and the appointment of Flavio Ferretti as CEO, who remains at the helm of the Company.

The investment confirms the commitment to Noberasco's re-launch path, with the aim of achieving growing development through strengthening the leadership position within the main large-scale retail chains, the development of the Horeca channel, out-of-home consumption with healthy products and expansion into new geographies, including internationally.

The transaction is also the first carried out by the Banca Ifis group's Sgr after its rebranding to Fürstenberg Sgr and confirms the company's role as a partner of reference for historic companies in Italia's entrepreneurial fabric, characterised by strong brands and solid industrial skills.

"We strongly believe in Noberasco's potential," commented Fürstenberg Sgr's CEO, Paola Tondelli, "This transaction confirms our willingness to accompany the company into a new phase of growth, strengthening its competitive positioning in Italia and abroad.

"Noberasco," added the honorary chairman, Gian Benedetto Noberasco, "since 1908 has always invested in the future through constant research, innovative drive and development, but thanks to the new governance and renewed confidence on the part of investors, the historic brand will be able to move forward with momentum towards new goals.
