Mergers and acquisitions

Acquisition of
PRAD (FRANCE)

Founded in 1978 and based near Bergamo in Italy, CROMOPLASTICA CMC specialises in the industrial electroplating of plastic surfaces.

The company transforms plastic components using bespoke metallic finishes, enhancing their durability, strength and aesthetic appeal. Its services cater to a range of demanding sectors, including luxury perfumery and cosmetics, as well as the automotive industry, high-end sanitaryware and interior design.

Thanks to its technical expertise and automated processes, CROMOPLASTICA CMC guarantees high-quality components that meet the most stringent requirements, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

In 2024, the GRADIENTE III fund acquired a stake in CROMOPLASTICA CMC, alongside the founding family. It provides the company with financial resources and strategic guidance to accelerate its development, strengthen its service offering and support its growth, whilst ensuring operational continuity under the founders’ leadership.

ATOUT CAPITAL advised the shareholders of CROMOPLASTICA (Italy) on the acquisition of PRAD (France).

The acquisition of PRAD, a leading player in luxury packaging, enables CROMOPLASTICA CMC to establish itself in this high-end segment and to bring on board one of the pioneers in glass metallisation and lacquering, thereby strengthening its expertise and its range of products featuring exceptional design and finish.
