Nexture Acquires Italy’s Sipral Padana

Nexture has signed an agreement to acquire Sipral Padana, an Italian producer of value-added food ingredients, expanding its portfolio and manufacturing capabilities.

Sipral Padana is headquartered in Bagnolo Cremasco, Italy, employs more than 130 people and is expected to generate revenues of over EUR80m in 2025. The company supplies customers in more than 20 countries with a range of products including fat-based creams and fillings, nut-based ingredients, bakery mixes, gelato ingredients and ready-to-use breakfast solutions.

The acquisition is intended to strengthen Nexture’s position in semi-finished, value-added ingredients, particularly in fat-based and nut-based applications, and to broaden its offering to bakery, confectionery and foodservice customers.

“This transaction expands our product portfolio and reinforces our ability to deliver value to customers globally, while promoting Italian know-how and high-quality ingredients worldwide,” said Nexture chief executive Gabriele Del Torchio.

Sipral chief executive Gianpietro Corbari said joining Nexture would accelerate Sipral’s international growth and allow the group to offer a more comprehensive range of value-added ingredients.

The deal follows Nexture’s recently announced acquisition of Frulact and represents another step in its buy-and-build strategy backed by Investindustrial. Since Investindustrial’s entry, Nexture has grown from EUR517m in sales to estimated pro-forma revenues of around EUR1.2bn following the signed acquisitions.

Completion of the Sipral transaction is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected in the first half of 2026.
