Acomo acquires the renowned Italian nuts and dried fruits business Manuzzi, expanding the Group's footprint into Southern Europe

ROTTERDAM (NL), 6 OCTOBER 2025

ACOMO N.V., the Euronext Amsterdam-listed diversified, plant-based food ingredients Group, announces that it reached agreement with Hyle Capital Partners and other shareholders on the acquisition of Manuzzi S.r.l. in Italy. The intended acquisition by Acomo will further strengthen the Group's Spices & Nuts segment and establish a stepping stone in the European Southern markets. No further financial details on the transaction will be disclosed.

The announcement of the intended acquisition is in line with Acomo's strategy outline 'Building routes to healthier foods' as presented at the Capital Markets day on 7 April 2025. The strategy which specified, amongst others, that further new investments in the Spices & Nuts segment are at the top of the Group's agenda. With the acquisition of Delinuts Nordics last year, Acomo already expanded its footprint to the Scandinavian market. The acquisition of Manuzzi gives the Group a footprint into Southern Europe as well.

Manuzzi is a leading Italian nuts & dried fruits business. The company is active in the import and nationwide distribution and sales of a wide range of nuts, seeds, kernels, dried fruits and pulses to wholesale and retail customers, the food industry and the Out-of-Home market. It successfully runs its own retail brand Manuzzi, tailored products for various private label customers, and a plant facility with packaging lines located in Cesena (Italy).

Allard Goldschmeding, CEO of Acomo, said: "This bolt-on acquisition fits perfectly our ambition to further grow the Spices & Nuts business especially in new geographies. The Italian market is strategically marked as a stepping stone to enter into other Southern European markets. With a highly successful track record Mr. Aurelio Manuzzi (managing director) and his team will undoubtedly drive further growth and expansion supported by Acomo and our Nuts & Dried fruits knowledge and expertise. The combination of trading and value-added service, such a packaging, mixing, seasoning and roasting, is a proven approach to reinforcing our position in the supply chains we are active in, and to provide answers to growing customer demand."

Matteo Chieregato and Francesco Zito, managers of Hyle Capital Partners: ''The timing is ideal to transition Manuzzi to Acomo. Since our investment in 2021, we have been closely involved in supporting the company's strong growth trajectory. Today, Manuzzi is well-positioned, strategically organized, and ready to thrive within a group that shares the same DNA in product excellence, trading expertise, and processing capabilities, along with a similar entrepreneurial spirit and culture. The synergies and growth potential in the product segment make this a natural fit. We are confident that Manuzzi and its dedicated team will flourish under the Acomo Group, and we wish them continued success in this exciting new chapter.''

Manuzzi will continue doing business under its own using the well-known Manuzzi brand, and will jointly operate with Acomo Group company Delinuts Netherlands to closely cooperate and explore new markets and business opportunities together.

Aurelio Manuzzi, Managing Director Manuzzi, said: "I am pleased and motivated to embark on this new chapter for Manuzzi within the Acomo Group. From the outset, we have identified significant synergies both in the market view and in the entrepreneurial management of the company. I am confident that Acomo represents the right group for the future of Manuzzi and for all stakeholders involved — employees, suppliers, and above all, our customers. I would like to express my gratitude to Hyle Capital Partners and the entire team for their valuable contribution and the work accomplished together over the past years."

The businesses are complimentary to each other, in various areas from sourcing to new offerings. With Delinuts NL, Delinuts Nordics, and Mannuzi in Italy we focus on added value processing and are able to reach a broad customer base."
