ITALY - Giardina Group, an international brand for finishing solutions, has acquired De Stefani Valerio & C Snc, based in Giussano Italy, which has been operating for over forty years all over the world, thanks to the artisan quality of its sanding solutions.

The agreement was finalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We didn’t stop and we also carried out this project, which we had been working on for some time,” commented Stefano Mauri, owner of the Giardina Group with his brother Riccardo. “We believe that it is in complex times like the one we are experiencing that companies must demonstrate that they have a project, a perspective, the strength to look ahead without waiting for interventions from governments and institutions. Never more than today is it fundamental to believe in your own strengths and ideas.”

The acquisition of De Stefani opens a new chapter of the Giardina Group 2030 project. This industrial plan defines the Group’s strategies to face the markets with an increasingly articulated range of solutions, but above all with the skills and knowledge necessary to design and build machines and plants in the many sectors in which the group operates, from wood to glass, from plastic to automotive, from composites to aerospace.

Details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
