COMPAGNIA ALIMENTARE ITALIANA SPA

A family company that started more than 100 years ago in a splendid valley, where mountains of Lazio and Abruzzo merge, creating a unique green reserve, where agriculture and culture have always been florid since times that go beyond romans. Beginning with Nicandro Mantova in 1905, generation after generation the family has seen visionary members with an extraordinary talent for business pioneering. “Hungry and foolish” enough they have focused on avoiding just selling everyone else product. Their spirit was always driven to avoid competition and rather creating new markets segments with products that did not exist before. Starting with 1980 inventing, adapting and innovating activity combined together with the opening towards international markets. Travelling the world, absorbing consumer behavior and trends from every side of the planet became the major driver of the company. Such a combination of driving forces were the base for a consistent number of iconic new products that were brought to the market. Sales outside of Italy soon became the focus of the entire commercial efforts and, eventually, the company expanded its presence in over 40 countries.   ********   At Compagnia Alimentare Italiana, we believe foods and tastes are probably the only distance that do not exist between people around the world. As a matter of fact, they can help bring people even closer, more than what art and fashion can do. We base all our existence on a simple principle: "have the entire world experience the healthiness and the high quality food of Italy, but do not just bring to them what everyone else does". Satisfaction of our own customers around the planet only arrives if we bring to them products with unique and unprecedented features that no other products have. Our invention process is unstoppable, continuous, relentless. Our desire for anticipating consumers’ needs, for their health or simply for their pleasure, is juts never appeased. We have antennas all over the world. We look and listen what old and new generations in every nation communicate and we try hard to interpreter them to create the product that respond to their desire or that fits their diet needs. Obviously the key of our success is way beyond just finding an idea. The value of an idea is maybe worth 0.001% of the business. The rest is execution, patience, tactics and above all is made of people putting their restless efforts into daily work. Yes, the real strength of Compagnia Alimentare Italiana is in the persons that work every day in it. One person is certainly the key that opens all doors. It is the man that stand behind each product formulation.
