Enartis to acquire Parsec, creating global leader in smart winemaking Technologies 

SOUTH AFRICA – Enartis S.r.l., a global leader in oenological products and technologies, has announced the signing of a preliminary agreement to acquire 100% of Parsec S.r.l., a leading Italian company specializing in the design and construction of turnkey systems and integrated control technologies for wine production and ageing. 

The completion of the acquisition remains subject to regulatory procedures under Italian law. Once finalized, the merger will create a global player capable of offering wineries a fully integrated and intelligent management system for their entire production chain, from grape reception to bottling, on a single platform. 

The combination of Enartis’ advanced oenological expertise with Parsec’s automation and control systems is expected to enhance production efficiency, sustainability, and wine quality for clients worldwide.  

This strategic move follows Enartis’ acquisition of Portuguese technology firm Winegrid in 2023, further expanding its technological footprint within the winemaking sector. 

According to Enartis, the integration will establish a unique hub of global expertise, providing wineries with comprehensive support and access to next-generation process management tools. 

Under the new structure, Parsec Chief Executive Officer Giuseppe Floridia will continue to lead the company, working alongside current partners and the existing team. The new entity aims to build on Parsec’s technological strengths while maintaining its commitment to innovation and customer-focused service. 

“This is the beginning of a chapter we intend to write together,” said Samuele Benelli, Chief Executive Officer of Enartis. “We are uniting not just two companies, but two families that share the same values of customer service, excellence, and innovation. The exceptional expertise of the Parsec team, combined with our global reach, will unlock tremendous potential for the future.” 

Enartis Business Director Piermario Ticozzelli emphasized that the partnership would strengthen the company’s position as a provider of innovative and integrated winemaking solutions.  

“The complementarity between Enartis and Parsec’s expertise will drive growth and generate new business opportunities. Together, we aim to be the strategic partner for wineries that look toward the future,” he said. 

Parsec CEO Giuseppe Floridia added that joining Enartis represents the natural progression of the company’s growth journey. “This partnership merges scientific knowledge with process control technology, offering the industry measurable and sustainable wine quality,” he noted.
