Will there be any change to the management team and day-to-day operations of LELIT?
No. Day-to-day operations will continue as usual. Emanuele, Giorgio, Mauro Epis and Cristina
together with the entire team will continue in their current positions, and there will be no change to
the production, sales, marketing, distribution, accounting and order processes.

Will there be any change for LELIT’s resellers, importers, or consumers?
LELIT will operate the same as before. We anticipate that during 2022 we will determine how best
to leverage Breville’s global assets, infrastructure and resources, all of which will bring positive
benefits to us and our customers. But, even with expanded tools and infrastructure, LELIT will
continue to maintain its unique design, manufacturing, and partners that have been the keys to our
success.

Will there be a change in pricing of LELIT’s products?
Distributors & Dealers: There will be no pricing changes to any of our products as a result of this
transaction. We will evaluate our pricing as we always have with any changes reflective of the cost
of raw materials, labour, semi-conductors, etc. This partnership will grant us access to a wider and
more efficient supply chain.

Will there be any change to LELIT’s company name, branding or logo?
No. There will be no changes to LELIT’s name, branding or logo. We will retain 100% of our existing
brand identity. "Made for performance" will continue to be our strong suit.

Will there be a change in how LELIT communicates?
We will continue to share information as we do currently, via our website, newsletters, email, social
media and shared platforms. You can still find us on the same email addresses and social handles.
Our website and social media channels remain LELIT, and we will continue to maintain our unique
voice with our customers.

Will this change LELIT’s manufacturing partners?
No. We have no intention to change LELIT’s manufacturing or supplier partners. We have committed
relationships with all our suppliers & manufacturing partners for many years, and these will continue
and strengthen.

Will this impact product quality?
No. Our products will be manufactured at the same facility and to the same exacting quality that we
are renowned for.

Australia’s Breville Group has announced plans to acquire Italian prosumer espresso equipment company Lelit in a deal worth €113 million ($124 million USD) in cash and shares.

According to a filing with the Australian Securities Exchange today, publicly traded Breville plans to acquire 100% of the Lelit group (styled “LELIT” by the company), half through cash funded from existing reserves and debt facilities, and half through fully paid shares in Breville Group (BRG).

The acquisition is expected to be finalized by early July. As part of the deal, the Lelit founders and other key members of the Italian company’s management team have agreed to join Breville Group.

In an announcement shared with DCN, Breville said the portfolio of Lelit home espresso machinery complements not only Breville’s existing home coffee equipment, but also its Baratza grinder line. Breville acquired United States-based Baratza in a $60 million deal in 2020.

“The acquisition of LELIT brings together the two great coffee cultures of the world: Italy and Australia,” Breville Group CEO Jim Clayton said in a press announcement. “Both companies have a shared passion for using product innovation to improve our customers’ coffee experience at home, and we look forward to working alongside LELIT and its existing partners to further accelerate its growth and product innovation, while preserving the values that underpin its Italian identity.”

Lelit was founded by the Epis family in the 1980s in Baitella, Italy, with a focus on ironing systems before eventually transitioning into home espresso machines. The company’s machines range from the small, single-boiler semi-automatic machines to dual-boiler, feature-rich prosumer machines like the Bianca.
