Investment & Fund Management

Birra Barbanera, a family-owned brewery located in Cavallirio, Piedmont, Italy, faced challenges in expanding its production capabilities and market reach. Founded in 2014, the brewery specializes in craft beers made from its own unique recipes, free of preservatives and dyes. The Crolla family, who owns and operates the business, sought financial support to finalize a new production plant and restructure their local office, which included adding facilities for tastings and storage.

To address these needs, Birra Barbanera secured a loan through Cogart CAN Piemonte, backed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) under the Investment Plan for Europe. This financing was crucial for the brewery to enhance its production capacity and improve its operational infrastructure.

As a result of this tailored financial solution, Birra Barbanera has experienced significant growth. The new production capabilities have allowed the brand to gain visibility and expand into new markets, positioning the brewery for a promising future in the craft beer industry. The investment not only facilitated the physical expansion of the business but also contributed to the overall development of the local economy by supporting a small family enterprise in the competitive beverage market.
