The transaction will support the Apulia-based group's 2026–2028 Investment Plan, strengthening the growth of a leader in innovation and healthy food.
Technological innovation, sustainability and international expansion are the objectives of the €55 million syndicated financing through which Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), Crédit Agricole Italia and SACE are supporting Andriani S.p.A., the Puglia-based Benefit Corporation1 and B Corp2 active in the production and marketing of naturally gluten-free pasta, bakery products and pet food.
