National leader in Ovos Moles strengthens international growth through investment by ActiveCap – Capital Partners

ActiveCap – Capital Partners (“ActiveCap”), through the ActiveCap II – Portuguese Growth Fund (“ActiveCap II”), has completed its investment in Fabridoce – Doces Regionais, S.A. (“Fabridoce”), a leading company in the
production of traditional Portuguese sweets.

Founded in 1989, Fabridoce is recognized for its leadership in the production of ovos moles and other conventual sweets. Focused on producing highly sophisticated sweets, the company has been expanding its product range to
include ice cream under the brand Gelados de Portugal, as well as mochis and brigadeiros, among others, which together now account for approximately 50% of the company’s revenue.

The investment from the ActiveCap II fund aims to support the company in an ambitious international growth plan and the continued diversification of its product offering, using innovative production methods and recipes that align with current consumer trends.

“Fabridoce has grown steadily over recent years. To continue doing so in a robust and organized manner, we considered it essential to open the family’s capital to a partner. We believe that ActiveCap meets all the conditions, due to the excellent personal relationship we have built and the experience they
possess in areas that can certainly be beneficial for both parties. We are therefore very motivated to face the upcoming challenges together with our partner.”
— Rui Almeida, CEO of Fabridoce

“Fabridoce is a symbol of Portuguese heritage and an example of the best our country has to offer. The company’s innovative nature and focus on international expansion were decisive factors in ActiveCap’s interest. We are proud to join forces with the company’s founders, providing the resources
necessary for this new growth cycle.”
— Salvador Correia de Barros, Partner at ActiveCap
