Zamaz plc
"Zamaz" or "the Company"
Acquisition by Bella Dispensa
Zamaz wholly owned subsidiary Bella Dispensa acquires Dallatte
Italia srl for EUR1m, further strengthening its growing portfolio
of premium Italian e-commerce food brands
Zamaz Plc, the London-based international e-commerce and retail
technology brand aggregator, is pleased to announce that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Bella Dispensa, has acquired the entire issued
share capital of Dallatte Italia srl ("Dallatte").
Dallatte, based in Piedmont, Italy, is a manufacturer and
distributor of premium dairy products using natural ingredients
including ice cream and pastries, milk, butter and cooking cream,
fresh and dry pastries and frozen filled pasta. The Dallatte brand
is synonymous with "Italian Food Excellence" and has distribution
outlets across Europe.
Dallatte was founded in 2019 by a group of investors led by the
Baravalle family who have significant experience in food brand
development and distribution across Europe and internationally.
Following a period of extensive product research and development
during which time it created a portfolio of over 60 products,
Dallatte commenced trading in 2022, achieving sales of over
EUR1.3million and break-even profit in its first year from offline
sales. It expects to achieve positive growth in sales and positive
operating margin in 2023, its second year of operations, as it
diversifies into online sales and expands its offline partnerships.
At year-end December 2022, it had estimated net assets in excess of
EUR1.5million. The consideration paid by Bella Dispensa for the
acquisition was EUR1 million.
Acquisition Rationale
This latest acquisition, further re-inforces Zamaz' stated
strategy of owning, managing and investing in its subsidiaries'
owned brand portfolio, thereby reducing licensing royalties and
significantly increasing shareholder value. For Bella Dispensa, the
acquisition further strengthens its position as a major operator in
the premium e-commerce "Made in Italy" food sector, where the
online B2C food & grocery eCommerce sector has increased
significantly; from EUR0.8billion in 2017 to EUR4.8billion in
2022*.
By leveraging its knowledge of retail technology, mining and
analysing data from online platforms to provide insights into
consumer shopping behaviour and trends, Zamaz and Bella Dispensa
are working together on the exciting opportunity to capitalise on
the rapid adoption of Ecommerce in Italy and the increasing trend
in the country towards online grocery shopping.
Daniele Besnati, CEO of Zamaz and Bella Dispensa, commented:
"Dallatte is a fast growing company in a growth sector of the
e-commerce premium foods industry. Its name was inspired by Dario
Osella, who, with Luca Baravalle, the founder and head of brand
development, are together well known in the Italian food sector, in
particular in Piemonte, helping it to achieve its "Italian
Excellence" status internationally.
"We expect the acquisition to help Bella Dispensa grow average
spend per customer and improve margins as we provide an
ever-increasing and compelling product choice to our customers
seeking premium food products. At the same time, this acquisition
helps us to expand our customer base."
Martin Groak, Chairman of Zamaz plc added:
"Bella Dispensa has a key role to play in achieving Zamaz'
long-term, international growth ambitions. The Italian e-commerce
industry is rapidly expanding and innovating, and the Italian food
theme is attractive to a wide and global audience. The acquisition
of Dallatte delivers another boost to group revenue and is a
tangible demonstration of Zamaz' portfolio strategy in action;
aligning with growing markets and consumer categories whilst
maintaining premium quality".
