Puro Water Technology has been designing and manufacturing, for about 30 years, technological components for industrial water treatment plants, in particular for the food & beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical sectors. The company has grown organically in recent years, becoming a recognized player both nationally and internationally. Mainly offers three product lines: stainless steel pressure vessels for reverse osmosis; Nlter housing used for water Nltration, nano-Nltration and ultra-Nltration, ultraviolet solutions to break down the bacterial load of transparent and opaque liquids. Puro operates at its headquarters in Traversetolo (Parma) in the plant of about 3 thousand square meters.

It closed 2023 with almost 5.5 million in revenues, almost 2 million in ebitda and 5.3 million in net cash (see here the report by Leanus, after registering for free). The objective of this reinvestment is to expand and grow further in national and international markets by consolidating its presence and developing new business channels. The development plans also include further acquisitions aimed at creating a national player in the sector. This one on Puro is just the latest in a series of operations conducted in tandem by Studio Sebastiani and Ocean Merchant, both based in Brescia. For example, in December 2021, through the vehicle of club deal OMH5, they had acquired the majority of the capital of SDV srl companies of Misano Adriatico (Rimini) among the largest operators in Italy in the market niche of the import and marketing of live crustaceans and other high quality fish products. The entrepreneur and founder Luigi Savino had reinvested in turn for a minority, maintaining full operational and commercial management of the company. The transaction was financed, like this one, by Banco BPM (see other BeBeez article).

Previously, in July 2021, through the OMH4 vehicle, the two investors had acquired a majority stake in the Kintek Group in Mappano (Turin) from the founders Laura Cedro and Piero Ozimo, They in turn have reinvested and maintained full operational management of the group producing industrial mechanical components, particularly tool holders for lathes and numerically controlled milling cutters (see other BeBeez article). Then the Kintek Group expanded and acquired Gait srl in Bologna where Sebastiani Tax & legal and Ocean Merchant Corporate Finance supported the buyer in the transaction (see news on LinkedIn). In August 2023, then, Aksìa Group, through the fund Aksìa Capital V, acquired from OMH4 the majority of the Kintek Group, with the two previous investors reinvesting (see other BeBeez article) both through OM&K, controlled by OMH4 (for 16%), both through the new OMH6 club deal vehicle (12%). Also in tandem, the two investors had organized a club deal in 2019 with which they had purchased the entire capital of Autorotor srl and Autcam srl of Crema, active for over 40 years in the design and production of advanced components for industrial automation (see other BeBeez article). The two companies were acquired through the vehicle Matilda Holding. In June 2022, they sold 100% to a well-known entrepreneur in the automation sector, Giuseppe Bellandi, who concluded the deal supported by some minority investors. The Sebastiani and Ocean Merchant firms explained to BeBeez: “We have carried out several operations in our history, which were fortunately successful. Sometimes in club deals (world energy and diagnostics) and sometimes some minority partners in private equity companies operating funds (fashion accessories world). In the latter case, the vehicle was called “Luxury & Fashion Components”. And again: “OMH1, OMH2, OMH3 have co-invested with other market players, in particular with Route Capital, in Susy Mix (fashion ready-to-wear sector of Bologna) and Barikell (construction machinery of Modena)”.
