Tapì Group acquires Ganau in the wine and spirits closure sector

Tapì, a global leader in closures for premium, super-premium, and luxury spirits, and Ganau, a renowned Italian producer of high-end wine corks, announced that Ganau joins the Tapì Group. Together, they are poised to make a significant impact in the industry by offering a comprehensive range of high-end sustainable closures.

The integration of Ganau into the Tapì Group creates a synergy that will enable both companies to offer a comprehensive range of closure solutions and to better serve an increasing demand for innovation, quality, and superior service across the wine and spirits sectors. Tapì will be incorporating Ganau’s high-end natural and micro-agglomerated cork stoppers into their closure offerings while Ganau will gain access to Tapì’s extensive international network, facilitating global expansion and broadening their customer reach.

Ganau’s decades-long experience in cork closure production has established the company as a key reference in the industry. Founded in Sardinia in 1941, Ganau relies on nine decades of experience and the integration of modern technologies to produce high-quality wine closures. With head quarter in Tempio Pausania (Italy) and divisions in Epernay (France) and Sonoma (United States), the Ganau family will retain partial ownership of the Ganau group. Adema, Francesco, Mauro and Mariella Ganau will continue to manage Ganau SpA and its subsidiaries, ensuring continuity in leadership and maintaining the company’s longstanding commitment to quality and innovation.

“This strategic partnership consolidates Tapì’s position as a leading innovator in closure solutions for the luxury spirit segment. While we’re already at the forefront of synthetic closures, this merger propels us into a leadership role in natural and micro agglomerated cork stopper manufacturing, particularly in the high-end segment. “Ganau’s reputation in exceptional quality makes them an ideal partner. Together, we’re prepared to elevate our service to premium spirits clients around the world,” comments Roberto Casini, CEO of the Tapì Group, commented on the acquisition.

The Ganau Family added: “We are delighted to join the Tapì Group as a natural evolution of our long-standing collaboration. This union will enable us to offer our clients even more innovative and high-quality wine cork closures. Furthermore, it marks a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy, reinforcing our position in international markets.
