Italy’s Andriani Benefit Corporation, a recognized international leader in the healthy food and innovation sector, has completed the 100% acquisition of PU-MA Srl. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for the Apulian company, as it officially enters the market for ready-to-use sauces, pestos, and preserves—product categories that share strong synergies with its existing core business.
A strategic focus on organic and integrated supply chains
Founded in 1986, PU-MA boasts deep expertise in the organic sector, which currently accounts for 95% of its total output. With two manufacturing facilities located in Molfetta and Bisceglie, Apulia, the company has distinguished itself through over forty years of consolidated industrial know-how and a portfolio of nearly 100 unique recipes. This asset is fundamental for Andriani, which intends to integrate these capabilities into its own regenerative agriculture processes and supply chain control models.
Growth strategy and international vision
“This operation allows us to strengthen our industrial and technological heritage by acquiring know-how in new production processes,” stated Daniele Camicia, General Manager of Andriani. The move, financially supported by Banco BPM, is not aimed solely at the domestic market; it seeks to scale the group’s international presence. By leveraging PU-MA’s experience in private label production, Andriani aims to capture new market shares in Central and Northern Europe. The integration promises to generate significant economies of scale and new consumption opportunities, further consolidating Andriani’s position as a global platform for sustainable food innovation.
