An exclusive chance to acquire Italy’s largest printer and smartphone retail network offers a fast track to a major market presence.
The Prink Group Companies, one of Italy’s most prominent retail chains for printers, consumables, and smartphone repair services, is on the market following insolvency proceedings. Founded in 2002, Prink quickly grew to dominate the Italian market, expanding its footprint to over 500 outlets nationwide and establishing itself as a household name in Europe. Now, the Civil Court of Bologna is offering the group for sale, presenting a rare opportunity for investors to acquire a fully operational retail network.
The auction, scheduled for 6 February 2025, includes Prink S.p.A., AQA S.R.L., IRIPARO S.R.L., and COLORCLUB.IT S.R.L., and Fotoprint Distribuzione S.R.L. The starting price for the companies is €2,650,000. Buyers also have the option to include the current inventory at a discounted price of €2,100,000, bringing the total package to €4,750,000. Incremental bids must be at least €50,000, and a 10% deposit is required to participate. Payment terms allow for up to 36 monthly instalments, secured by a bank guarantee.
The sale package includes technical infrastructure, goodwill, certifications, employee contracts, commercial affiliations, trademarks, patents, and websites. The group’s operational infrastructure and trained workforce provide a ready-made platform for businesses looking to enter the Italian market or diversify their offerings.
