Eurmoda acquired La Cerniera in a deal that also includes reinvestment and management reshuffling. La Cerniera’s current CEO, Giovanni D’Andria, becomes CEO of the Eurmoda group, where he takes over from Marco Vecellio, who assumes the role of Eurmoda president. Upon completion of the acquisition, the group will come to generate revenue of 90 million euro with 490 employees.
Eurmoda acquires La Cerniera
The acquisition was made possible thanks to the resources made available to Eurmoda by its majority shareholder, Aurora Growth Capital, which a few months ago invested in the Pederobba (Treviso) company alongside Mindful Capital Partners and founder Marco Vecellio. La Cerniera is a company active in steel accessories for luxury leather goods. Based in Scandicci (Florence), it employs 130 people and has recorded significant growth rates in recent years, thanks to a strategy also driven by innovation. La Cerniera’s current shareholders will reinvest heavily in the new group and actively contribute to the new growth phase, ensuring managerial continuity.
