Controversies archived, now is the time to think about the future and consolidate recovery: Massimo Zanetti, president of the Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group and patron of Virtus basketball, put an end to the tensions associated with the group based in Villorba and his top management. , especially the relationship between CEO Pierluigi Tosato and his son Matteo Zanetti (former CEO of Segafredo Coffe System and former manager). “I’m sorry that there is all this chatter and all this attention to small disagreements – said Zanetti -, in a local scuffle, limited to Treviso, which is related to the placement of a group that is everywhere in the world in a bad light, Segafredo and other companies.”
Doctor Zanetti, in a note from a few days ago wants to specify the skills and roles within the Group, that the exit of his son Matteo from the board of directors of Segafredo Coffee System has already been approved April and that any disagreement between him and CEO Sheared was “exclusively of a personal nature”. So does the journey made a few months ago continue with the QuattroR?
“Actually, there is no funding problem. Also because if there are problems at some point the board of directors can change the directors… coffee costs: the accounts are improving, the processes in the restructuring of various companies around the world (60; editor’s note) continues and the process of modernization of management is also a year of sacrifices, especially in personnel 2025 should be a quieter and even better year.”
In short, he will once again choose to have the QuattroR fund join the group.
“Yes, I will do it again. Also because of my age (Zanetti will be 77 next February; ed.) I also need to take my foot off the accelerator. With Covid we have three difficult years, the debt has increased a little and the banks want a little peace, so it seems right to bring in new forces.”
Is the time horizon of the fund confirmed?
“Yes, he will stay in the capital for three or four years. In short, whatever it takes.”
And then there is the new stock market listing.
“Yes, let’s go back to the stock market. Let’s see where and let’s see if at that point my family wants to keep 50% or exit the capital. My heirs.”
How can you strengthen the group between now and then?
“At an industry level I think we will make acquisitions, because now we can no longer be as small as before, because our competitors are companies of the size of Nestlè. we have to improve, or, if there is an opportunity, also reach new markets.
