ATHENA Assists EMS Group in Sale to Bottero SpA
ATHENA supported EMS, a company specializing in the handling, palletizing, and storage of goods and materials, with valuation matters in its sale to Bottero SpA, a leading Italian manufacturer of glass processing machinery.
The ATHENA team, led by Senior Partner Luca Lupone and including Director Giovanni Rigo and Consultant Mirko Benedini, played a key role in the transaction. Their work contributed to the execution of a recovery plan, which was part of the negotiated crisis settlement initiated by EMS in 2023.
Founded in 2018 through the merger of five major companies in the sector, EMS Group employs around 200 people across its plants in Val d'Enza and Fontevivo, both located in the province of Parma.
Bottero SpA, established in 1957, is one of the top three global leaders in the production of glass processing machinery, with plants and subsidiaries worldwide. In addition to its headquarters in Cuneo, Bottero has locations in Montecchio Maggiore (Vicenza) and Rovereto (Trento), Italy.
