Back to portfolioValvitalia
The Valvitalia Group, an Italian family-owned industrial group, was a leading European manufacturer of valves for the oil and nuclear sector.
Chequers acquired a stake in Valvitalia from Banca Leonardo, a historic minority shareholder in Valvitalia.
The plan was to continue growing the group by extending its geographic footprint, in particular in Asia and the Middle East, by deploying commercial resources and making targeted acquisitions.
Value creation
Value creation was achieved by organic growth driven by market share gains, the resumption of investments in the oil sector, as well as an acquisition in the United Kingdom. The group was sold in 2014 to Fondo Strategico Italiano (Italian Strategic Fund).Investment year
