ORIOR ac­quires 100% of Ital­ian pasta man­u­fac­turer Pas­ti­fi­cio Gaetarelli

Zurich, 2 March 2026

ORIOR Food AG has ac­quired full own­er­ship of Ital­ian pasta man­u­fac­turer Pas­ti­fi­cio Gaetarelli as planned on 25 Feb­ru­ary 2026. The pre­vi­ous mi­nor­ity stake of 19% has been in­creased to 100%. With this step, ORIOR is con­sis­tently strength­en­ing its strate­gic po­si­tion in the pre­mium fresh pasta seg­ment and send­ing a clear sig­nal for fo­cused, value-cre­at­ing growth. Gaetarel­li's tra­di­tional crafts­man­ship strength­ens ORI­OR's po­si­tion in the high-qual­ity fresh pasta seg­ment and com­ple­ments Pastinel­la's in­no­v­a­tive strength and long-stand­ing pasta ex­per­tise.

Pas­ti­fi­cio Gaetarelli, based in Salò on Lake Garda, is an es­tab­lished man­u­fac­turer of high-qual­ity pasta for the re­tail and food ser­vice sec­tors. Gaetarelli and the ORIOR busi­ness unit Pastinella have en­joyed a close op­er­a­tional part­ner­ship for many years. The now com­pleted ac­qui­si­tion is there­fore a log­i­cal and for­ward-look­ing next step in a long-stand­ing part­ner­ship. The ac­qui­si­tion adds a low sin­gle-digit mil­lion amount in sales to third party cus­tomers in Eu­rope. Gaetarelli, with around 30 em­ploy­ees, will re­main an in­de­pen­dent com­pany based in Italy. Con­ti­nu­ity, cor­po­rate iden­tity and lo­cal roots are be­ing de­lib­er­ately pre­served. Or­gan­i­sa­tion­ally, the com­pany is man­aged by the Pastinella busi­ness unit and is a sub­sidiary of ORIOR Food AG. The pur­chase price for the 81% stake ac­quired was in the mid-sin­gle-digit mil­lion range.

This ac­qui­si­tion un­der­lines ORI­OR's clear com­mit­ment to tar­geted in­vest­ment, pool­ing strengths and ac­tively shap­ing the fu­ture of high-qual­ity fresh pasta.
