Risco S.p.A. acquired a minority stake in the capital of Tesi Industrial Europa, a Spanish company active in the manufacturing of machinery for the production and packaging of agri-food products under the Veserkal brand.

Risco, headquartered in Thiene (Vicenza) and founded in 1968 by Giovanni Battista Righele and Giuseppe Scorzato, is a leading producer of machines and systems for food processing, primarily in the meat industry. Risco manufactures machines (e.g., vacuum fillers, sausage systems, grinders) for various processing phases (e.g., portioning, grinding, mixing, and depositing) and serves a wide range of food segments, including meat, fish, bakery, dairy, pet food, and vegetables. The company exports its products to more than 75 countries.

The goal of the transaction was to strengthen the commercial offerings of both Risco and Veserkal through the complementarity of their respective product portfolios. Additionally, Risco, leveraging its know-how, strong brand reputation, commercial distribution network, and extensive experience in the meat processing industry, will further develop Veserkal’s production capabilities and market presence.

Livingstone acted as financial advisor to Risco, structuring the transaction and negotiating the binding agreements.
