In a year marked by agri-food market uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and weak consumer spending, Fruttagel confirms its solidity, exceeding €150 million in revenue and strengthening its organic business, which now represents approximately a quarter of its total revenue. The agro-industrial cooperative closed 2025 with gross revenues of €150,8 million and a production value of €155,4 million, maintaining solid financial and equity positions and continuing investments in innovation, sustainability, and the enhancement of the agricultural supply chain. This result allows the company to look to the future with confidence, supported by an investment plan of approximately €5 million planned for 2026, aimed at improving production efficiency, safety, and the quality of industrial processes.
The shareholders' meeting approved the 2025 financial statements of the cooperative, which has plants in Alfonsine, near Ravenna, and Larino, in the province of Campobasso, confirming the company's ability to maintain a balanced position in a particularly complex international environment.
Among the most significant factors is the role of organic products, which represents approximately 25% of core revenue. This segment continues to consolidate its presence in the Italian and European markets and remains one of the cooperative's strategic assets for development.
Gross operating profit stood at €7,4 million, while net equity reached €61,1 million. These figures demonstrate the company's financial strength and ability to sustain new investments.
In 2025, Fruttagel processed nearly 100 million kilograms of fresh fruit, vegetables, and semi-finished products. Over 62% of the raw materials come from its member suppliers, confirming its strong mutualistic vocation and connection to the agricultural landscape. Among the most dynamic sectors, plant-based beverages stand out, recording 9% growth, while investments in product and process innovation, packaging sustainability, and the valorization of agricultural production continued.
For 2026, the cooperative plans to invest approximately €5 million, primarily in production and energy efficiency, plant safety, and improving the quality of industrial processes.
During the meeting, Davide Vecchi, the cooperative's former director of administration, finance, and control, was also elected president, succeeding Stanislao Giuseppe Fabbrino. "Generazione Fruttagel" was also presented, a new training program for employees under 35, which will involve around twenty young people with the aim of training the company's future management team.
"2025 was a challenging year, characterized by an extremely unstable international environment and markets increasingly affected by geopolitical, climate, and energy tensions," said General Manager Paolo Cristofori. "In this environment, the cooperative confirmed its resilience, continuing to invest in the quality of its products, innovation, and the valorization of its members' agricultural work."
During the handover of the cooperative, outgoing president Stanislao Giuseppe Fabbrino emphasized: "I am proud to pass the baton to Davide because I am leaving a healthy and balanced cooperative. Fruttagel's future must continue to be one of optimism and courage, maintaining a forward-looking vision."
These words were echoed by Davide Vecchi, who highlighted the need to address market changes with adaptability: "Companies are subject to continuous and sudden changes, and we must be able to read these changes and adapt to them."
