## DETAILED SUMMARY
Maccaferri, backed by sustainability-focused private equity firm Ambienta, has announced the acquisition of two specialized materials companies targeting complementary segments of the global road infrastructure market. The deals represent a coordinated expansion strategy to build scale and geographic reach in construction materials.
Iterchimica brings expertise in asphalt additive technologies serving European road construction and maintenance markets. The company's specialized formulations enhance asphalt performance, durability, and sustainability characteristics—key attributes for modern infrastructure projects. Surface Tech contributes aramid fiber reinforcement capabilities for North American road applications, a high-performance materials segment serving premium infrastructure and rehabilitation projects.
The acquisitions align with Ambienta's investment thesis in sustainable infrastructure and circular economy solutions. By combining Iterchimica's European asphalt additive platform with Surface Tech's North American fiber reinforcement capabilities, Maccaferri gains complementary product offerings and geographic diversification across two major infrastructure markets. This portfolio approach enables the company to serve large-scale road construction and maintenance contractors across multiple regions while leveraging Ambienta's operational and sustainability expertise across the combined platform.
