F&P4BIZ acquires 74% of FARMA

Armando Poma will remain the company’s key entrepreneurial figure, supported by his son Andrea and the management team who have worked alongside him until now—and who have all reinvested in the acquisition vehicle.

The transaction was finalized through a leveraged buyout and structured by the vehicle promoted by F&P4BIZ in the form of a Club Deal, set up in partnership with RTZ, a professional firm active in Emilia-Romagna, as part of a broader collaboration between the two companies.

“The aim of this operation is to support FARMA—already a market leader with exports accounting for over 50% of its turnover—in further international growth, including through targeted acquisitions. True to F&P4BIZ’s approach, our role will be to provide not only financial backing but, above all, industrial support to help the company expand. We’ll also leverage the network and expertise of prominent entrepreneurs who joined the Club Deal and whose businesses operate in the industrial vehicle sector and related markets,” explain Guglielmo Fiocchi and Maurizio Perroni, founders and partners of F&P4BIZ.

“For our company,” says Armando Poma, Chairman of FARMA, “this is an extraordinary opportunity not only to ensure continuity but also to bring in a more managerial approach and open up to new business horizons and markets beyond Europe. We plan to do this through targeted joint ventures and M&A operations.
In a fast-moving and constantly evolving world, technological and market leadership are not static—they must be continuously strengthened and innovated. In F&P4BIZ, we’ve found the right partner to help us realize our growth ambitions and guide the company into the future, moving beyond a purely family-managed model.”
