"Giliberti Triscornia e Associati advised Metrika II in its acquisition of a majority stake in Proteg, while LawaL Legal & Tax Advisory advised the founding Papa family. Other advisors included EY (tax and accounting), OC&C (strategy), ERM (environmental/ESG), Aon (insurance) and Studio Lucci-LucciDea (financial)."

Giliberti Triscornia e Associati advised Metrika II in the transaction, and LawaL Legal & Tax Advisory advised the Papa family of Proteg. The Metrika II Fund, managed by Metrika SGR and led by partners Marco Giuseppini and Nicola Pietralunga, has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Proteg, a Campania-based company active in the collection and processing of animal by-products, oils and fats into renewable raw materials. Proteg, now led by the third generation of the founding family, collects animal by-products and food no longer suitable for human consumption across Central and Southern Italy and processes them at its industrial site in Campania. Through its production processes the company converts these materials into processed animal proteins and rendered fats destined for the pet food, organic fertiliser, oleochemical and energy sectors. Proteg is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and has recorded revenues of approximately €30 million in recent years. The current management team, led by chief executive officer Salvatore Papa, will ensure operational continuity following Metrika II’s entry. Metrika II’s industrial plan foresees strengthening the management structure, investing in production capacity and plant automation, pursuing growth through acquisitions in adjacent waste valorisation and renewable fuels segments, consolidating positioning in higher value markets and enhancing the group’s environmental and decarbonisation profile.
