Three investment funds have taken minority stakes in the group, collectively injecting €105 million: Three Hills Capital (€75 million), Azimut Libera Impresa (€15 million), and HAT (€15 million).

In addition to the capital injection, Mech-I-Tronic optimized its financial structure by increasing the existing credit line to approximately €155 million, provided by a banking pool.

“With around €200 million now available, we are well-positioned to continue our growth our growth journey, aggregating entrepreneurial excellence worldwide, aiming to reach consolidated revenues of over €400 million by the end of 2026” said Giovannini. He added: “We aim to build a federation of companies and a club of entrepreneurs, integrating solutions, intelligent systems, and data to become a global leader in smart manufacturing. Our roadmap envisions Mech-I-Tronic reaching €500 million in revenue by 2028 through organically and through acquisitions, synergies, and expansion into new international markets."

Founded in 2023, Mech-I-Tronic has steadily grown to encompass 14 companies across pharmaceutical, cosmetics, electromechanics, and industrial automation sectors. The group currently employs about 900 people and reports aggregated revenues of approximately €165 million.

Among its operations in the plastics industry are un Italian's firm - Union Extrusion (extrusion technology) - and two French injection mold manufacturers—SMP Moules and Ermo—both of which joined the group earlier this year.

The business model foresees that each company maintains its identity and continues to be led by the entrepreneur, who reinvests a significant share directly into the holding.
