Livorno, July 15, 2025 – Laviosa S.p.A. (“Laviosa” or the “Company“), a leading company in the extraction and processing of bentonites into high value-added solutions for key sectors such as high-performance industrial materials, animal well-being, logistics, and mass consumption, announces the key financial and industrial results achieved by the Group. Laviosa ended 2024 with consolidated revenue of EUR 137.6 million, up 10.9% compared to 2023, thanks to a significant increase in sales volumes and strong commercial performance in a still uncertain macroeconomic environment.
Net income stood at EUR 11.2 million, while EBITDA reached EUR 21.9 million (15.9% of revenue), compared to EUR 19.2 million in 2023 (15.5% of revenue). The Net Financial Position/EBITDA ratio improved to 1.04 (from 1.41 in 2023), confirming the Group’s financial solidity.
“In a challenging year for the global economy, Laviosa confirmed its ability to grow, strategic vision, and operational resilience,” said Cav. Giovanni Laviosa, Chairman and CEO of the Group.
“We strengthened our presence in Europe with the establishment of Laviosa Germany GmbH, integrated key services such as logistics, and reinforced our assets through targeted investments in
sustainability and innovation. We look to the future with determination, proud of our identity and ready to seize the opportunities offered by global markets.”
Cav. Laviosa continued: “Beyond the numbers, what truly makes us proud is the trajectory we are following — one defined by responsibility, innovation, and a focus on the entire value chain. We believe in an industry that doesn’t just produce but also reflects on its impact. That’s why we have strengthened our commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions, focusing on concrete solutions such as solar drying, energy efficiency, and the evaluation of our suppliers based on sustainability criteria.
Alongside this comes a significant cultural and ethical milestone: obtaining the Gender Equality Certification, which reflects our commitment to building a fairer, more inclusive, and diversity-respecting workplace.
We look to the future with the awareness that our roots are strong because they are grounded in people. It is thanks to those who work every day with passion, expertise, and team spirit that we can face change with courage and seize the opportunities the market offers, both in Europe and in Asia.
Research and Development remains a key driver for us: from new litters based on agricultural by-products to the European-backed alternative to coal in foundries, every innovation we implement is driven by the desire to create economic, social, and environmental value.
We are convinced that organic growth is essential, but so too is the ability to recognize and integrate new entities that share our values and goals. For this reason, we are equipping ourselves to face the future with clarity, responsiveness, and vision — aware that competitiveness increasingly depends on the alignment between strategy and responsibility.
We are a company made of people, ideas, and vision. And we will continue to build tomorrow with the same sense of responsibility and determination that has guided us so far.”
In 2024, the Group achieved UNI PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification and announced the publication of its first ESG report, as a testament to a structured commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matter.
KEY CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024
n 2024, Laviosa made significant strides in strengthening its value chain. The acquisition of Laviosa Logistics enhanced the integration and efficiency of logistical operations, whilst the establishment of Laviosa Germany GmbH marked the Group’s entry into the German pet care market—the largest in Europe in terms of both volume and value.
Laviosa’s New Strategy
The 2024 strategy focused on three core areas: sustainable growth, internationalization, and vertical integration. The Group also reinforced its ESG commitment by reducing CO₂ emissions, adopting sustainability criteria across the entire supply chain, and achieving gender equality certification.
SUSTAINABILITY: A CONCRETE AND CROSS-CUTTING COMMITMENT
The year 2024 also marked a decisive milestone in the Group’s sustainability transition journey. A structured ESG reporting process was launched, which will lead to the publication of the first integrated report in 2025, anticipating European standards and voluntarily complying with CSRD criteria.
Key achievements in 2024:
Laviosa furthered its commitment to an increasingly sustainable industrial model, aimed at creating value throughout the entire production chain, respecting the environment, people, and good governance principles.
Ecological transition and emission reduction
Among the most significant environmental actions were the increased use of solar drying materials and the optimization of energy efficiency across plants. The company continued its CO₂ emissions reduction journey, encompassing not only production processes but also logistics flows and supplier relations.
Integration of sustainability into the supply chain
A systematic supplier evaluation process was launched based on an ESG criteria checklist, aimed at ensuring high environmental and social standards throughout the value chain. This integration allows the Group to maintain alignment between industrial vision and environmental responsibility.
Sustainable innovation
Research & Development played a key role in bringing the sustainability strategy to life. Among the most significant projects: the development of cat litter made from agricultural by-products, and securing EU funding to test an eco-friendly alternative to coal in the green sand molding process used in iron foundries.
Inclusion and corporate culture
In the social sphere, Laviosa achieved the gender equality certification milestone that demonstrates the company’s commitment to fostering inclusive, fair workplaces focused on employee well-being. This recognition reinforces a corporate culture
where diversity and equal opportunities are not secondary values, but foundational pillars of doing business.
“Respect” is the guiding principle for the company’s future actions. A broad concept, encompassing respect for people, partners, and clients—those with whom Laviosa builds trusted relationships—and for the environment, protected responsibly at every stage of the value chain.
Respect also means memory and vision: preserving a business heritage that spans over a century while keeping an eye on innovation and the creation of shared value.
In 2025, the Laviosa Group will continue to invest in both organic growth and acquisitions, further strengthening its international presence and consolidating its leadership in the strategic sectors of mining, integrated logistics, and sustainable solutions.
