In 2019 Liguabue celebrated its first century of activity as the oldest contracting company and naval care company in business in the world. In 2016 the Italian Fund for Investment (FII), which was managed by Neuberger Berman AIFM, had entered the capital of the Venetian firm and in the same year the purchase of new shares had led Inti Ligabue to hold 70% of the firm. Now with the purchase by Inti Ligabue, through the company Lilux Srl, which is controlled by him, of the 30.6% percent stake held by the Italian Investment Fund, the property has returned entirely to the Venetian family. NB Aurora, which owns 44.55% percent of FII and is also run by Neuberger Berman AIFM, said the deal's counter-value was 9.7 million euros.
