This marks the start of a strategic partnership between 2PointZero and Peninsula. Together, the partners will reinforce ISEM\u2019s leadership position with a focus on category and geographic expansion, embedding AI and digital technology across the business \u2014 from manufacturing to client operations \u2014 and supporting targeted M&amp;A to extend ISEM\u2019s industrial footprint and product capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Samia Bouazza, CEO of 2PointZero Group<\/strong>, said: \u201cThe completion of this transaction marks an important step in advancing our global growth ambitions and establishing a scalable platform in the packaging industry. Packaging will become our sixth consumer-focused vertical. During our visit to ISEM\u2019s facilities, I was particularly impressed by the level of automation, advanced robotics assembly, and state-of-the-art facilities, which drive operational efficiency, consistency, and margin strength.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bouazza added: \u201cOur entry into packaging is due to the sector continuing to deliver strong CAGR growth across multiple sub-segments, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and luxury. With our track record in strategic M&amp;A, AI deployment, and operational integration, we are well positioned to support ISEM in accelerating its international expansion, while expanding across both primary and secondary packaging and delivering long-term returns for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The closing of this transaction clearly represents an expansion into packaging by 2PointZero Group, establishing its sixth consumer-focused vertical whilst complementing its existing beauty and apparel businesses. The Italian-based ISEM Group, founded in 1949 and headquartered in Bologna, is a highly automated leader that reinforces the &#8216;Made in Italy&#8217; brand hallmark. Globally, ISEM is recognised for its quality, innovation, and association with key luxury clients, including LVMH, Kiko, Gucci, L\u2019Or\u00e9al, Puig, and Coty Lancaster. ISEM products include rigid boxes, folding cases, silk paper, and dust bags, with an industrial footprint comprising 11 manufacturing plants spanning more than 100,000 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Borja Prado, Founding Partner of Peninsula Capital\u00a0<\/strong>commented: \u201cCompletion of this transaction marks the beginning of an exciting new phase for ISEM. The group has established itself as the packaging partner of choice for the world\u2019s most demanding luxury clients, and this investment will provide ISEM with the capital, global reach, and strategic support to further accelerate its expansion. Partnering with 2PointZero brings complementary capabilities that we believe will be transformative \u2014 not only for ISEM, but for the clients it serves as well. We look forward to building the next chapter together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Francesco Pintucci, CEO of ISEM<\/strong>\u00a0Packaging Group commented: \u201cToday marks the start of a next chapter of the Group. The Group can now offer our clients: greater scale without losing the precision and personal commitment that sets ISEM apart. Group\u2019s people, craftsmanship and relationships with the world\u2019s leading luxury houses \u2014 those remain the heart of everything ISEM does. With 2PointZero and Peninsula, ISEM has the platform to take that offer global. I am proud of what we have built in a very short time and thank the entrepreneurs, my friends and part of our incredible journey, all Groups\u2019 people and all our stakeholders, clients, suppliers, for their important support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Partners and senior associates from the leading global law firm, Hogan Lovells, advised 2PointZero and Peninsula Capital on buy-side M&amp;A and FDI matters and antitrust matters. Legance assisted Peninsula Capital on its reinvestment in ISEM and the stakeholders\u2019 agreements with 2PointZero Group, and Van Campen Liem advised [Peninsula] on deal structuring. At the same time, Gatti Pavesi Bianchi Ludovici and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer advised on the sell-side throughout the sale process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transaction results in 60.8% ownership by 2PointZero Packaging becomes the sixth consumer-focused vertical with ISEM as an anchor 2PointZero Group PJSC (ADX: 2PointZero), a next-generation investment powerhouse focused on energy and consumer sectors, announced today that it has formally completed the transaction to acquire a majority position in ISEM, a leading European packaging group serving &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9,1338,1310,1341],"class_list":["post-11159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-business","tag-consumer","tag-general","tag-lifestyle"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
