More specifically, the recent Progressio Investimenti III fund \u2013 which completed fundraising in Q3 2019 \u2013 at the end of its investment period (Q1 2023) had already repaid to its investors approximately 83% of the amounts drawn. Progressio Investimenti III acquired eight companies and already divested from three of them with a remaining portfolio of five companies: Gampack (machineries for the packaging industry), Gelit (frozen ready meals), Damiano (dried fruit and derivative products), Polenghi Group (lemon juice-based condiments) and ATK Sports (bindings for ski mountaineering).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beatrice Capretti, IR of Progressio<\/strong> said: <em>\u201cThe trust that existing and new investors have shown in Progressio is an important confirmation of the solidity of our investment strategy, the quality of our team and the reputation of our brand, which has been active in the Italian private equity landscape for 20 years\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filippo Gaggini, Managing Partner of Progressio<\/strong> said: <em>\u201cThis result, even more satisfying considering the instabilities in the macroeconomic and geopolitical context of the recent months, represents for all of us a strong recognition of the work carried out in recent years and, above all, an incentive to continue, with even greater determination, on the ambitious, but disciplined growth path of our company with the aim of confirming and consolidating our leadership in the reference market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The investment strategy of the Fund (set up in accordance to art. 8 of the SFDR regulation) will be fully consistent with the past, investing in Italian business excellences with a renewed focus to digital issues and a marked ESG profile. In particular, Progressio Investimenti IV, through its investment activity, will promote specific environmental and social characteristics aimed at enhancing the most innovative and strategic profiles of sustainability (supply chain relations, digitalization, etc.) without neglecting basic and essential aspects such as gender equality, social inclusion, employee welfare or the use of renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Supporting a continuous internal growth and preparing the team to manage the new Fund, some members have been recently promoted and a couple of junior figures are expected to be added to the investment team over the next few months. Furthermore, with the aim of a progressive and constant strengthening of the partnership and a continuous demonstration of strong commitment from the management team, the shareholding structure of the management company have recently welcomed \u2013 alongside the historical partners (Filippo Gaggini, Angelo Piero La Runa, Nino Mascellaro, Alessandro Petraccia and Nicola Carbone) \u2013 some new shareholders among the members of the organization: Massimo Dan (Partner), Beatrice Capretti (IR &amp; ESG Partner) and Mauro Ballabio (Operating Partner).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Progressio is supported by the law firm Legance (Enzo Schiavello and Riccardo Daguati) for the set up and marketing of the Fund and by the firm Di Tanno Associati for the tax aspects (Fabio Brunelli, Sabrina Tronci and Valerio Forestieri).<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n            \n                        <div class=\"im-text-on-bg__cta-wrap\">\n
