Agiltek Completes Crucial Buyout in Italian Market

Agiltek, an Italian company situated in Gattinara, Vercelli, has successfully completed a buyout operation designed to ensure an effective generational transition and establish a firm foundation for further expansion in its key markets. As a prominent producer of chemical products for the electronic and agricultural sectors, Agiltek has strengthened its position in Europe, specifically in the production of ammoniacal etching liquid, a critical component for printed circuit manufacturers. Annually, the company produces millions of liters serving strategic markets such as Italy, Spain, France, and Slovenia. Additionally, Agiltek is playing a vital role in the circular economy by recycling spent etching liquid into valuable chemical products like copper oxychloride and Bordeaux mixture, used extensively in agriculture. The buyout also reinforced the leadership of Filippo Borasio, a partner and director at Agiltek, who has consolidated his stake in the company. Arpe Group, a Milanese corporate finance boutique specializing in extraordinary finance, mergers and acquisitions, and private debt, acted as a financial advisor for this transaction. The operation was managed by Arpe's Corporate & Investment Banking team, led by Marina Magr with senior manager Andrea Parodi and analysts Alessandro Seghesio and Alessandro Donati.
