About
We work in the international organic raw material market with a strategy of supply chain integration.
What we do
We develop, organize and manage all the steps of the production chain of two families of organic raw materials: almonds and tomatoes.
We provide the food industry, wholesalers and retailers with quality, sustainability, traceability and transparency of products, services and relationships.
Our goals
Our aim is to provide the food industry with safe quality organic products generated and processed sustainably, they are totally traceable thanks to the full transparency and continuous information sharing.
History
We opened our offices for the distribution of organic raw materials in 2012, in a small warehouse in the Roero area of Piedmont. We had a long experience in the international market of organic raw materials from short supply chain and in the development of supply chain projects.
Continuous exchange of views with farmers and operators allowed us to be aware of the environmental critical issues, the market changes and the growing need for safe food produced responsibly.
We wanted to be part of the change and an effective support of the food production system, and we wanted to do it our way: with transparency and responsibility, attention to people and relationships. Ensuring the raw material quality did not feel like enough anymore, we had to provide traceable and sustainable products, transparent information and processes, welcome customers and establish trust and profitable relationships.
In 2017 we decided to invest all profits in supply chain projects and focus on two product families: almonds and tomatoes. As for the almond, we built the entire supply chain internally, from the agricultural production to the industrial processing and marketing. As for the tomato, we created an industrial partnership based on full identity of practices and values.
Today we are a group of 22 people, we only use energy from renewable sources, we have a factory of 2,000 square meters, an advanced technology industrial processing plant, an ever-growing organic almond orchard absorbing 3,000 tons of CO2 per year and customers in 12 countries on 3 different continents.
