TRIESTE – Midolini Group is acquiring a majority stake in CTS, expanding its activities and geographical coverage in industrial services.
The binding agreement provides for Midolini’s entry into the share capital of CTS, a Ravenna-based company specialising in oversized transport, lifting and industrial handling. Closing is expected by next month and represents a step in the Friuli-based group’s acquisition-led growth strategy.
Midolini Group, based in Udine and backed by Smart Capital, closed 2025 with turnover of 55 million euros and more than 400 employees. CTS recorded revenues of 15 million euros in the same year and has around 70 employees. The Ravenna-based company operates in highly technically complex activities and has a fleet that includes 98 SPMT axle lines, as well as specialised personnel also involved in industrial assembly and installation.
The operation allows Midolini to strengthen its position in oversized transport and complex handling operations, broadening its customer base and contract portfolio. At territorial level, the group extends its presence between northern and central Italy, with particular focus on the Ravenna logistics hub.
CTS has also grown in recent years through the acquisitions of Sassuolgru and RBM. The former contributes low-environmental-impact electric vehicles, while RBM operates in industrial plant engineering, with an offering covering design, construction and maintenance. The management of the two companies underlined the strategic value of the operation: for Midolini, it is a step in its consolidation and geographical expansion path, while for CTS joining a more structured group will make it possible to accelerate development, strengthen its positioning and address a market increasingly geared towards integrated operators.
