Manusa expands in Italy with the purchase of a leading company in the sector by FormaItalia

FormaItalia, a law firm specialized in supporting Spanish businesses in Italy, has carried out a successful due diligence process for the expansion of the Manusa Group in Italy. The process has culminated with the acquisition of the majority of the shares of SGS Italia by the Catalan group.

Manusa Gest, a leading company in the sector of automatic doors and intelligent accesses, thus acquires a majority stake in one of the largest Italian companies in the sector, Sistemi, dedicated to the installation and maintenance of automatic accesses.

FormaItalia’s team, under the leadership of its founding partner Alfredo Izquierdo, has carried out the financial, legal and labor analysis of the Italian company. This Due Diligence process ensured that Manusa had a complete and detailed understanding of the situation of S.G.S. Sistemi, ensuring a smooth acquisition. In addition, FormaItalia has been responsible for the preparation of all the necessary legal documentation and has provided continuous advice during all phases of negotiation.

“We are very satisfied with the result obtained. Manusa is a group with a strong international presence that has relied on our experience with the Italian market. We have no doubt that Manusa will be a leader in its sector. After so many years seeing projects in Italy, we know when one is going to be successful”, explains Alfredo Izquierdo, founding partner of FormaItalia.

This operation is part of Manusa’s international growth strategy, which considers the transalpine country as one of the strategic markets at European level. With more than 30 years of previous experience in the country, Manusa strengthens its position and commitment to the Italian market, with its own structure that will facilitate a closer and more personalized service to its customers, while allowing the development of solutions adapted to the local market.

Manusa’s international growth strategy has been key to the success of the company, which currently has subsidiaries in Italy, Portugal, Brazil and China, and a global presence in another 90 countries.
