Closing signed for the acquisition of Bergel+ Srl

MARR: closing signed for the acquisition of Bergel+ Srl, a Lombardy-based company operating in the distribution of food and beverage products to the foodservice sector, with sales of over 25 million euros in the business year 2025.

Bergel+, with its sales network and product and service expertise, strengthens the MARR Group's presence in Lombardy, the main Italian region for the out-of-home food consumption.

MARR S.p.A. (Milan: MARR.MI), the leading Italian company in the sale and distribution of food and non-food products to the foodservice, has signed with Ortofrutticola Srl, a company specialized in the distribution of beverages, the closing for the acquisition of Bergel+ Srl (“Bergel”), a Lombardy-based company operating in the distribution of food and beverage products to the foodservice sector since the 1990s.

Bergel, with sales of over 25 million euros in 2025, serves over 1,500 clients with a wide range of products, including a significant portion of seafood and meat. Almost all clients are located in Lombardy and are served through a sales organization of approximately 20 people.
Bergel has a significant specialization in the Street Market segment, which also includes bars and fast food outlets and represents over 80% of the company's sales.

The acquisition of Bergel strengthens the MARR Group's presence in the Lombardy region which, with a 17% share (TradeLab, November 2025), is the main Italian region for the out-of-home food consumption.

The acquisition involves the payment of approximately 4.7 million euros for the purchase of 100% of Bergel's shares; one-third of this amount was settled at the closing, the second installment, equal to a further third, net of any adjustment, will be paid by August 31, 2026, and the final installment by April 2, 2027. Furthermore, a supply agreement relating to products in the beverage category from Ortofrutticola to MARR has been finalized.

As part of the transaction, Bergel will retain the use of the facility in Zanica (Bergamo), from which operations are currently carried out, for a period of up to six months, with plans to integrate them into the MARR Lombardia distribution center (located in Bottanuco (Bergamo) and activated in April 2024). This will create operational efficiencies and synergies that will enable an improved level of service to clients in the Lombardy region.
