Aasted’s acquisition by PiovanGroup has officially been completed on October 1, after being announced earlier this year. The new ownership marks the beginning of a new chapter in Aasted’s more than 100-year history, bringing together complementary capabilities in food handling.

“Our vision is to create a truly global company that can deliver complete, fully integrated production lines and best-in-class point solutions – from raw material handling to final products. Wherever chocolate is produced in the world, we want to be there,” said Filippo Zuppichin, CEO, PiovanGroup.
