Build
leadership through custom M&A
We support family-run businesses which grow through acquisitions. We bring the best practices of private equity to serve their strategic ambitions.
FARINIA
FARINIA is the industrial holding of a renowned entrepreneur. Over the last 25 years he has developed expertise in invigorating distressed metal-working businesses, with management based on innovative technologies, upgraded processes, performance control, strategic reviews and M&A.
GIRSZYN & CO has backed FARINIA’s founder since 2009, applying private equity methods to acquisitions: assessment of synergies, arrangement of asset deals, shareholder agreements, ad hoc financing. We notably guided the turnaround of SAFE AUTO, reaching agreements with RENAULT as key client and BPI as co-financer to secure sustainable rebound.
FARINIA now owns 12 companies in forging, foundry, additive manufacturing and machining, totalling €300m of turnover.
POMPEIAN
POMPEIAN success story started in 2010 when this US century-old brand of olive oil was bought out by a young entrepreneur advised by GIRSZYN & CO and backed by family investors with extensive track record in agri-food industries.
On top of a robust organic growth led by diet trends and quality processes, the group has achieved step changes thanks to pivotal M&A transactions with strategic partners. In 2017 POMPEIAN sealed a trade and cross-shareholding alliance with Spanish DCOOP, the largest olive oil cooperative in the world.
The combined group now generates $800m of sales. Founder and family shareholders are assisted by GIRSZYN & CO for further acquisition and investment projects, both upstream to secure harvest and sourcing, and downstream to expand product offer and market shares.
