AGRITALIA

Founded in 1987 in Naples by the brothers Sergio and Stefano Massa, Agritalia is a leading provider of complete private label programs and exporter of food products mainly from Italy and Europe to North America. With a comprehensive portfolio of almost a thousand products sourced from certified suppliers, Agritalia is the go-to-reality for food and nonfood private labels. The success of Agritalia, and sister companies Agrilogistica and Agrusa, is built on the Automated Replenishment Program (ARP), an advanced logistics solution based on the innovative Cloud Sourcing Intelligence (CSI), a proprietary software that makes the supply chain more efficient by analyzing sales data to plan suppliers’ workflow, consolidate and optimize the containers leaving every week for USA guaranteeing products always fresh and in stock. Thanks to this system, Agritalia can provide a “just in time” solution that allows suppliers to have greater control over production and customers over purchases.

Through the Automated Replenishment Program, the company aims to be a reliable partner for its customers but also to achieve eco-sustainable goals. In fact, few years ago Agritalia has joined one of the latest sustainable-based projects sponsored by the European Community: ProCEedS (H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018), a research consortium that aims to study the eco-sustainable implications of the model and the consequent reduction of food waste, carbon dioxide, energy, and water consumptions along the supply chain. The theme of sustainability is a priority for Agritalia, which is also committed in pursuing with goals 9 and 12 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sponsored by United Nations.

Agritalia has recently obtained the BRCGS Agents & Brokers Certification with the maximum grade AA, confirming the strong commitment in keeping the highest levels of efficiency, product safety and quality standards.
