Almac has acquired 100% of the shares of Easy Lift S.r.l.

July 2025 — Almac has successfully acquired 100% of Easy Lift S.r.l.’s share capital, along with the reinvestment of Easy Lift’s shareholders into Almac. Aiming to enhance the group’s positioning and accelerate its growth, the transaction was supported by private equity firm Wise Equity, which holds a majority stake in Almac. Michele and Emanuele Sorianini, founders of Easy Lift, will retain their respective roles within the company and join Almac’s board, which will lead the strategy for the new group.

Founded in 2013, Almac is an Italian leader in the design and production of innovative tracked aerial work platforms and transporters. Today, the company’s AlmaCrawler brand spans multiple product lines in both aerial platforms and material handling solutions. Almac's aerial platform division features the innovative BIBI tracked scissor lifts, the versatile JIBBI self-propelled telescopic boom lifts and the powerful BILLENNIUM telescopic boom lifts with stabilizers. In material handling, Almac offers the efficient Multi-Loader tracked carriers and specialized pick and carry cranes. Headquartered in Italy, AlmaCrawler’s global reach extends through a network of approximately 30 carefully selected dealers worldwide, supported by strategic subsidiaries, including Almac Atlantic in the UK, Almac Pacific in Australia and Almac America in the USA.

Easy Lift has been manufacturing and supplying aerial platforms for the international market since 2006.

As leaders in the aerial platform sector, Easy Lift and Almac are two Italian companies with complementary strengths in product types and geographic markets served. With an international vision and a strong focus on innovation, Almac strengthens its structure through the addition of Easy Lift, which shares core values such as customer centricity, design quality and service excellence. Both brands will maintain their distinct identities, maintaining their respective commercial networks and operational sites to ensure continuity and enhance their unique strengths. This industrial combination enables the group to leverage increased investment capacity in technological innovation and new product development, with the goal of further improving service and offerings on a global scale. Additionally, the group will benefit from the presence of Plas, a specialized metalworking company whose majority stake was acquired by Almac a year ago. Plas now represents a strategic asset for increasing competitiveness in both the domestic and international markets.
