The Italian private equity firm and the Buccellati family, which held 33% of the capital, have announced in a press release that they have sold an 85% stake in the label to the Chinese group, while still holding the remaining 15%. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed. The Chinese conglomerate Gangtai is specialized in the consumer, culture, finance and health industries.
Clessidra has been trying to sell Buccellati for several months, and Swiss luxury group Richemont was tipped as a potential buyer.
The transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2017. The current management team remains in place for the time being: Andrea Buccellati will retain his role as Creative Director and honorary President, and other family members will keep their roles too, while Gianluca Brozzetti will continue to lead the company as CEO.
In 2015, the fine jewellery label’s revenue was close to €41 million. “We have backed Buccellati for the last three years, and during this time the company’s revenue has grown by 60%. We think it is now ready to set off on a new growth path,” said Clessidra’s General Manager Marco Carotenuto.
