The food industry is a sector in full growth thanks to technological innovation and the emergence of new business models. The boom in the sector has brought a huge surge of mergers and acquisitions in recent years. In today's post we are going to analyse two M&A operations carried out in recent years in the food sector by Angulas Aguinaga. 

Angulas Aguinaga is a Basque company specialising in seafood products and majority-owned since 2006 by the private equity fund manager Portobello Capital. The companies acquired have been nurseries Merimar and the Italian Riunionein 2018 and 2020, respectively.

VIVEROS MERIMAR: A STRATEGIC GROWTH ACQUISITION FOR AGUINAGA ELVERS

Viveros Merimar is a company specialised in the production and distribution of octopus and owner of brands such as Meripul and Merimar. In July 2018, Angulas Aguinaga announced its acquisition, with the clear objective of accelerating its growth and strengthening its presence in one of its main activities, the marketing of octopus. Merimar's experience in a growing sector such as octopus, together with Angulas Aguinaga's leadership in modern fishmongering, was decisive in successfully completing the operation.

In 2017, Angulas Aguinaga established a 2017-2020 strategic plan, with the clear objective of achieving market leadership and reaching a turnover of 200 million euros before the end of 2020.

After the acquisition of Viveros Marimar, Angulas Aguinaga continues its expansion plans, both in the national and international markets.

RIUNIONE: THE ACQUISITION THAT OPENS DOORS TO INTERNATIONALISATION

In January of this year, almost a year and a half after the acquisition of Viveros Merimar, Angulas Aguinaga announced a new acquisition in the frozen fish sector: the purchase of the Italian company Riunione, specialised in the marketing of salmon and other canned fish products.

This operation represents an important leap in the internationalisation of Angulas Aguinaga which, after the closing of this operation, reaches nearly 36% of international business, a figure that is almost five times higher than in 2016.

The purchase is also part of the company's 2017-2020 strategic plan and Riunione's CEO Andrea Coppola will continue to lead the company in Italy.

for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
