HIG Capital has secured a controlling stake in Pinalli, a distribution platform for beauty and personal care (BPC) products.

Pinalli, based in Fiorenzuola d’Arda, Italy, has advanced e-commerce platforms specialised in luxury BPC products in Italy.

HIG has partnered with the Pinalli family and the existing management for this transaction.

“Pinalli represents a great story of success, driven by strong innovation which has allowed it to constantly adapt its business model to an always evolving world, including the digitisation of business processes in an omnichannel environment,” said Raffaele Legnani, managing director of HIG in Italy. “We believe that HIG is the ideal partner to support the management team in the next stages of development of the Company in a very fragmented sector”.

Pinalli’s cofounder, and chairman, Luigi Pinalli will reinvest alongside HIG.
