August 12, 2025

Foster Clark Products Limited is pleased to announce the acquisition of Preziosi Food S.p.A., a respected Italian producer of savoury snacks and the company behind the Salati Preziosi brand.

Based in Melfi, southern Italy, Preziosi Food brings a team of over 200 associates and a strong market presence in the snacks category, producing over 130 million packs of chips, popcorn, and salty snacks each year. The company recorded over €86 million in revenue in 2024, with a 13% EBITDA, and has established solid partnerships in the Italian retail sector.

This acquisition marks a key step in Foster Clark Products’ strategic growth journey. With a long-standing presence across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, the group is now expanding into Europe, where its story first began, and into the fast-growing savoury snacks category.

Joseph Busuttil, President and CEO of Foster Clark Products Ltd., commented: “This acquisition represents an important strategic step for our expansion in Europe and allows us to enter the Italian market through an industrial player of excellence. We recognize in Preziosi Food an entrepreneurial culture and a capacity for innovation that we fully share, and we are excited to embark on this new journey together.”

Lorenzo Caporaletti, CEO of Preziosi Food, added: “Joining FCP represents an opportunity to further accelerate our growth, combining industrial expertise, strategic vision, and international presence. Operational and managerial continuity will ensure stability and new prospects for both our customers and our people.”

Both companies will continue to operate independently, with close collaboration between leadership teams to explore synergies and long-term opportunities.
