Automation Systems S.p.A. (“Investindustrial”), an independently managed investment subsidiary of Investindustrial, acquires PiovanGroup, a leading global manufacturer of auxiliary machineries and solutions for processing automation. Investindustrial has entered into a sale and purchase agreement that will trigger a mandatory tender offer to ultimately delist the company.
