Biesterfeld took full ownership of Biesterfeld Polybass and Biesterfeld Polychem, ending a nearly 30-year joint-venture structure in Italy.
Italy is a strategically important market for the Hamburg-based distributor, and the buyout is part of a long-term plan to deepen its local presence and support broader expansion.
Claudio Giorio and Roberto Calvi will stay in their leadership roles, while former partners Paola Bassignana, Alfredo Sonzini and Giacomo Sonzini will support the transition through end-2026.
Biesterfeld enters the move from a larger base: the group has more than 1,200 employees, over 50 locations and posted EUR 1.2 billion in 2025 revenue.
