Fabriano, July 1, 2022 - Elica S.p.A., the parent of the Group that is the leading global manufacturer of kitchen range hoods, following what was communicated on June 27, 2022, announces that it has today defined the acquisition from Urbano Urbani, minority shareholder of the subsidiary Air Force S.p.A., of 40% of the share capital of the latter, and therefore, the equity investments held by Elica S.p.A. within Air Force S.p.A. rise to 100%.
Air Force manufactures high quality kitchen range hoods and cooktops that are highly customisable and unique, thereby positioning itself in a specific niche market and allowing it to satisfy the most specific of customer needs, distancing itself from the mass market. Experience, design, flexibility and made-in-Fabriano innovation fit perfectly into the Elica Group's development and growth strategy.
