Gruppo AFR

Growing together

The experience and expertise of Bassini 1963 and Glaxi Pane come together to create AFR Group, one of the main reference points in the frozen bakery sector for the GDO and Ho.Re.Ca. channels.

Craftsmanship, Expertise and Innovation

Orienta Partners together with a group of investors, including FAI (Fondo Agroalimentare Italiano) and the French private equity fund Indigo Capital, acquired in 2018 the Antico Forno della Romagna company, a long-established Italian company specialized in frozen bakery, better known under the Bassini 1963 brand name.
The new ownership immediately focused on enhancing the company's strengths, craftsmanship, expertise and innovation, in order to consolidate its position in the Large-scale Retail and strengthen its frozen bread production activity for the Ho.Re.Ca. channel. With this in mind, in March 2019 the Group acquired Glaxi Pane: a Veneto-based company that is one of the leading players in the italian frozen bread products for the Dining Out segment.
