Sabelli, the Italian dairy group, has acquired Caseificio Pini, a ricotta specialist controlled by the Pini family.
Based in Sanguinetto, Verona, Caseificio Pini reported a turnover exceeding €8.73 million ($9.48 million) for 2025, representing a 13.7% increase compared to the previous year, alongside a net profit close to €587,000 ($637,905). According to sources, the strategic acquisition enables Sabelli to directly manage its supply chain and fully utilise the whey produced across its facilities, a crucial raw material for ricotta production that has recently faced rising international demand and surging costs.
Sabelli CEO Simone Mariani stated: “The acquisition of Caseificio Pini represents a consistent and ambitious step within the development path of the Sabelli Group and allows us to expand our production capacity, absorbing all the raw material from our plants”.
The transaction follows Sabelli’s acquisition of dairy specialist Stella Bianca in 2024. The purchasing group currently operates 6 production sites, 10 distribution platforms, and employs 1,000 staff and collaborators.
