On the occasion of TuttoFood 2025, Pastificio Pallante announced the acquisition of the Pasta Ambra production site in Corigliano d’Otranto. This is a highly strategic industrial move, designed to meet the growing international demand, particularly in the private label pasta segment. The investment significantly strengthens the group’s production capacity, paving the way for an ambitious commercial expansion in line with the need for high volumes, consistency, and flexibility required by major international retailers.
Already active with its historic brands and a trusted partner of both Italian and international retail chains, the Pallante group is making a decisive move to enhance its industrial capacity and support the expansion of its private label business—now one of the most dynamic and competitive segments in the food market. The acquisition of the new facility will enable more efficient and diversified production management, introducing new formats and automated lines capable of adapting to a wide range of specifications including weights, packaging, and product types. In this context, the company is not merely increasing output, but rather positioning itself as a reliable and scalable partner in pan-European retail tenders.
This operation fits within a broader growth vision aligned with market evolution. The private label pasta category now accounts for a significant portion of European consumption, with a market share exceeding 40% in key countries such as Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands. Serving these markets competitively requires more than quality and tradition: it demands modern facilities, logistical strength, and a flexible industrial organization capable of delivering on time and in large volumes. This is precisely the direction that Pastificio Pallante is taking—an acquisition that will allow it to manage production peaks, expand its client portfolio, and enhance service capabilities at a global level.
This is not merely an expansion, but rather a leap in scale, positioning the company among the most equipped Italian players to face the challenges of a constantly evolving market, increasingly driven by integrated production and distribution models. The announcement made in Milan confirms that, even in the pasta sector, competitiveness now depends on industrial strength, specialization, and the ability to speak the language of global retail chains. And in this arena, Pastificio Pallante is determined to play a leading role.
