Sustainable Agro Solutions (SAS Group) a portfolio company of Stirling Square Capital, announced the acquisition of Aqua do Brasil, a Brazilian producer of resistance inducers, biostimulants, and other specialty fertilizers. Luciano Gasparini, ceo, will remain actively involved in the business, overseeing the combined operations in Brazil (see here the press release). Exclusive financial advisor to Sustainable Agro Solutions in the deal was Dealnext led by Massimo Amoroso. KPMG Brasil and Pinheiro Neto Advogados were also advisors in the deal.
SAS group consolidates its position as a stronger and more solid organization, within the expansion roadmap launched four years ago with the entry of Stirling Square Capital Partners, followed by the acquisition of Biovert in 2023 and Pevesa Agroscience in 2024.
Eduard Vallverdú, ceo of SAS, said: “This acquisition marks a historic milestone for SAS, as we expand into one of the world’s most dynamic agricultural markets. Aqua do Brasil, led by Luciano and his talented team, brings strong expertise, solid growth potential, and a well-established customer base. Together, we will strengthen our value proposition, scale production, and expand our reach across Brazil and Latin America, supported by a shared entrepreneurial culture and a commitment to excellence.”
The incorporation of Aqua do Brasil marks a turning point, creating a unique opportunity to expand in Brazil and Latin America. This step allows SAS to establish a production platform in Latin America, enhancing proximity to Latin markets and providing significant advantages in terms of logistics and compliance with local regulations and registrations. It offers SAS group a major growth opportunity to strengthen its leadership in the agricultural sector, advance its long-term strategy, and uphold sustainability as a core pillar of its philosophy.
