OUR STRATEGY

Edizione is an active investor, which combines an entrepreneurial approach with rigorous financial discipline, supporting its companies strategically and financially to improve their competitive positioning and returns. Edizione seeks to grow the value of its investments over time and reinforce their presence in the various sectors to which they belong. This objective may also be achieved through acquisitions, thanks to the network of contacts and relationships built up by the Group over the course of many years.

The main sectors in which Edizione operates are: transport infrastructure, through a holding in Mundys (acquired in 2000), digital infrastructure through a holding in Cellnex (acquired in 2018) , food and beverage through Autogrill (acquired in 1995) and manufacturing, through the historic brand Benetton (founded in 1965).

Edizione also has a presence in the real estate sector (through the subsidiary Edizione Property), and the agriculture and hotel sectors.

Edizione holds a portfolio of shares in the financial sector, represented by its holdings in Assicurazioni Generali and Mediobanca.

Edizione is owned by the four branches of the Benetton family (equal stakes) through the following companies: Evoluzione, Proposta, Regia and Ricerca.
