McDermott advises Morganti S.p.A. on the sale of Kapriol to Groupe RG

Groupe RG, a leading European operator in the specialized distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE), has completed the acquisition of Kapriol, a historic Italian company founded in Lecco in 1927 and active internationally in the design, production, and marketing of PPE, workwear, and safety footwear under the same brand.

The integration of Kapriol will allow Groupe RG to accelerate its growth strategy, combining the strength of its international distribution network, its investment capacity, and its industry expertise with Kapriol’s industrial experience, know-how, and deep local roots. Kapriol is now present in around 70 countries with solutions dedicated to construction, industry, and skilled trades. The transaction is marked by full managerial and industrial continuity, confirming the company’s current management and the central role of the Kapriol brand in the Italian and international markets.
