Mindful Capital Partners, a private equity-backed Italker, a manufacturer of ceramic products, completed the acquisition of Ceramica Fondovalle, a ceramics company, from Effebi, a ball valves producer, and Excavazioni Industriali Baroni, a supplier of clay and raw materials for ceramics manufacturing. Financial terms were not disclosed. "With the acquisition of Fondovalle, Italcer strengthens at the top of a sector in which Italy is itself a world leader. Italcer Group has organic growth and growth through external lines in its DNA, ever since Graziano Verdi with Alberto Forchielli gave life to this innovation hub. Confirming the Group's strategy, this acquisition represents a very important step which will be followed by other strategic operations in the coming years," Lorenzo Stanca, Mindful Capital Managing Partner.
