Italcandati is a key player in the yoghurt, gelato and pasty sectors, and produces fruit-based solutions and creams, preparations for yogurt and ice cream, candied fruit, semi-candied fruit, and marron glacé.

The companies will collaborate to provide candied fruit, hydrated creams, and fruit-based preparations. The new brand aims to be a ‘pan-European’ player within these sectors. 

With the collaboration., the two companies will have access to greater production capacity, enabling them to take advantage of their plants in Pedrengo (Italy) and Goes (Netherlands), which combined have more than 100,000 square metres of production space, 500 employees and a portfolio of more than 3000 recipes. Combined, this is a production capacity of 150kT per year.
