LA DORIA: OVER €100 MILLION IN INVESTMENTS BETWEEN 2025 AND 2026 TO SUPPORT THE GROUP’S EVOLUTION FOLLOWING ACQUISITIONS

Angri (SA), June 9, 2026 – La Doria – a leading European supplier of long shelf-life Italian private label specialties, including tomatoes, ready-to-use sauces, canned pulses, and pasta – continues its industrial development path with an investment plan exceeding €100 million in total between 2025 and 2026. Following approximately €45 million invested in 2025 (compared to around €30 million in 2024), the Group expects capital expenditure of approximately €60 million in 2026. These investments are aimed at effectively integrating the acquired businesses, optimizing the production footprint, increasing capacity to support expected volume growth, further improving processes, and enhancing industrial efficiency.

In particular, La Doria is continuing its industrial evolution following the acquisition cycle completed between 2024 and 2025, which has reshaped the Group’s profile by strengthening its production scale, expanding its product portfolio – including entry into new segments such as pasta – and extending its geographic footprint.

The transactions completed over the two-year period – the acquisition of Clas and the private label business unit of Pastificio Di Martino in 2024, and Pasta Lensi as well as the production and logistics activities of Feger di Gerardo Ferraioli S.p.A. and Sapori del Sole S.r.l. in 2025 – have also led to a doubling of production sites, from 6 to 12, now located across five Italian regions. The year 2025 also saw the creation of Windoria, resulting from the combination of La Doria in Italy and Winland Foods in the United States, marking a further step in the Group’s international growth journey.

“The acquisition cycle completed between 2024 and 2025 represented a decisive milestone in the evolution of the La Doria Group, strengthening its industrial scale, expanding its product portfolio, and significantly extending its production and geographic footprint. In this context, our investment plan is aimed at effectively integrating the acquired businesses, optimizing the production footprint and supporting expected volume growth, with a constant focus on efficiency, capacity, and operational continuity,” said Antonio Ferraioli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of La Doria. “Today, La Doria is a larger, more international, and more structured industrial group, increasingly capable of meeting the needs of large-scale retail customers globally, thanks to a consistent path of acquisitions, investments, and industrial integration.”

Key initiatives implemented in 2025 include new production lines dedicated to 100% Italian tomato processing (a tomato paste tube line and a peeled tomato line at the Fisciano plant, in the province of Salerno), a new pasta packaging line in Salerno, and a new coating line in Angri for in-house production of cans and lids. The Parma facility was also expanded for the processing of fresh basil used in pesto production.

In 2026, the plan continues with further investments aimed at increasing production capacity, including a new can production line in Angri (+250 million units per year), bringing total annual capacity to 1.2 billion units; new tomato processing lines for different product types (chopped, passata, cherry tomatoes, and peeled tomatoes) across the Angri, Fisciano and Lavello plants; a new labeling line in Chiusanico (IM); a new packaging line in Fara d’Adda (BG); a new ready-made sauce line in Parma; and an increase in basil processing capacity, also in Parma.

Alongside capacity expansion investments, the Group continues to invest in upgrading, modernizing and strengthening its plants to improve performance and industrial efficiency.

La Doria also continues its ESG and environmental impact reduction journey through investments aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. Key initiatives in 2025 include a new heat recovery system in Angri and new photovoltaic systems at the Chiusanico, Lavello (PZ), and Fisciano plants. For 2026, further photovoltaic installations are planned in Pastorano (CE), an additional photovoltaic system in Lavello, and the installation of new high-efficiency boilers with improved thermal performance in Chiusanico.
