We acquire majority stakes in solid electromechanical companies facing a generational transition. We safeguard their continuity and build their value over time.
We are not a fund; we are an industrial joint-stock company (S.p.A.) and part of the Orange1 Holding group.
Orange1 Capital was born within an Italian industrial manufacturing group. We invest in electromechanical businesses that have built expertise, reputation and customer relationships over decades, yet now face a decisive question: how to secure the future when family succession is uncertain.
Our answer is continuity. We acquire the majority, take on the responsibility of leadership and give the company the means to grow. We protect the people, the brand and the know-how that made it strong. We work with a long-term horizon, because an industrial company cannot be run with an exit-driven mindset.
Armando Donazzan is President of Orange1 Holding, an international manufacturing group and one of the leading European producers of asynchronous electric motors, aluminium die-casting and precision mechanics. He leads a Group born from the family business founded in the early 1970s in Bassano del Grappa and present today in over 70 countries, grown both organically and through numerous acquisitions.
Alongside the industrial business, he has driven the Group’s commitment to sport, through the Orange1 Racing division in international motorsport, and to social initiatives, founding in 2023 the Orange1 for People Foundation, dedicated to young people.

We step in when business continuity is at risk: entrepreneurs without a clear succession and families looking to entrust their company to reliable hands, protecting the assets, people and know-how built over the years.
This is the sector we know in depth. Our specialisation, extended to adjacent and related industries, lets us assess a company's true value and support its industrial growth.
We acquire a majority stake and run the company alongside its owners: we ensure continuity in management, stability in choices and consistent decisions over time. We neither take over alone nor leave owners on their own — we share the responsibility of running the business.
We invest to build, not to flip. Our measure of success is the strength of the business over the years, not short-term gains.
The company stays in business, with its identity intact. The brand, the location and the corporate culture that built its value are preserved.
We protect jobs and skills. The team that grew the company is the first asset we intend to develop, not replace.
We bring structured management and industrial discipline, while respecting what already works. We change only what is needed to make the business stronger.
We provide resources for investment, product development and new markets, giving the company the means for the next stage of its journey.
