AEB Global

What AEB Global does

AEB Global (legal entity AEB S.p.A., previously AEB Biochimica) is an Italian biotechnology manufacturer headquartered in Brescia, founded circa 1960 and operating for over 60 years. The company designs, produces, and distributes specialty inputs and equipment for the beverage and food industries, organized across four business segments: winemaking (oenology), brewing, food processing, and spirits production. Its core technology stack centers on fermentation biotechnology — active dry yeasts, enzymes, tannins, clarifiers, stabilizers, bacteria, chitosan-based treatments, and varietal-specific nutrient formulations — paired with proprietary sanitation and cleaning chemistry, industrial equipment for dosing, fermentation management, filtration, bottling, water and wastewater treatment (including the OXISYSTEM platform), and cartridge regeneration services delivered through wholly-owned subsidiaries AEB Engineering and AEB Filtration.

AEB serves exclusively professional B2B customers (wineries, breweries, distilleries, food processors) and earns revenue through one-time sales of consumables, sanitation products, and equipment, with pricing varying by format (sachets, packs, drums) and region. Go-to-market combines direct sales via 15+ localized country websites and offices (Italy HQ, USA, UK, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, plus France investment), integrated e-commerce storefronts with free-sample trials, and participation in industry trade events. The company is privately held by the founding Boati family, has 501-1000 employees, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 22000, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and SA8000 certifications. Recent activity includes bolt-on acquisitions (Innotec 2017, Danmil 2019), geographic expansion (UK 2019, France 2023), and active product launches across its 2026 pipeline.
