Attilio Mazzilli?s role in facilitating the Nuo-Andriani partnership
Nuo, the financial holding company formed through the collaboration of Exor and World-Wide Investments, has made a significant foray into the Italian food sector. Spearheaded by CEO Tommaso Paoli, the Group has recently established a strategic partnership with Andriani, a Puglia-based company renowned for its production of premium gluten-free pasta. Attilio Mazzilli, a Corporate Partner at Orrick, provided valuable assistance to Andriani throughout the process. Under the terms of the agreement, Nuo, as a minority partner, acquired a 26.4% stake in Andriani, while the majority share capital will remain with the Italian company. The management of Andriani will continue to be led by Michele and Francesco Andriani. This move will accelerate the industrial development plan of the Apulian company, with a primary focus on rapid expansion into America and Asia. The plan encompasses increased investments in innovation, supply chain projects, and long-term sustainability initiatives. Notably, Andriani aims to achieve carbon neutrality at its plant by 2025.
