Probios, an Italian company specializing in healthy nutrition and backed by Agreen Capital, has acquired a 30% minority stake in B.M.S. Srl, a firm focused on sourcing, processing, and marketing organic, health-focused, and free-from foods, including cereals, seeds, legumes, and dried fruits. B.M.S. founder and CEO Enrico Tinelli will retain majority ownership and operational control.
The deal, which follows the recent acquisition of Biotobio, forms part of Probios and Agreen Capital’s strategy to reinforce the group’s industrial base, emphasizing the national supply chain in organic and health-conscious foods.
Andrea Rossi, President of Probios and Managing Partner of Agreen Capital, remarked: “The organic whole grains, gluten-free, legumes, and dried fruit markets are highly strategic for us. We see significant industrial and commercial synergies in this partnership and share the Tinelli family’s commitment to working closely with Italian farmers.”
Renato Calabrese, CEO of Probios, added: “The inclusion of B.M.S. in the group underscores the strength of our project, which aims to create a distinct, made-in-Italy hub in the nutrition and wellness space. With the recent acquisition of Biotobio, this move further consolidates our position. The unique supply chain B.M.S. has developed, coupled with its technological expertise, allows us to strengthen our industrial footprint and enhance the quality and distinctiveness of our brands, including Probios, Baule Volante, Fior di Loto, Finestra sul Cielo, and ViviBio.”
Enrico Tinelli, CEO of B.M.S., concluded: “I am delighted to join forces with Probios and Agreen Capital. The synergies created through this partnership will support B.M.S.’s continued growth, benefitting our family and the broader sector of healthy, made-in-Italy nutrition we have been committed to for decades.”
