    Summary

    Italy’s Orominerva company used CAP co-finance to purchase a new production line which has made it possible for them to automate part of the production process and improve the quality of their finished goods. CAP funds were also used to buy new management software, improve logistics, and develop the company’s new bilingual e-shop (English/Italian).

    Results

    Revenue growth reached an average of +30% annually following the project.

    Thanks to the acquisition of new machinery, the company is now able to create new types of recipes that were not previously possible.

    In 2022, Orominerva obtained the quality certification FSSC22000 for Food Safety Management Systems. In the same year it won the Gambero Rosso Award for the best artichokes in olive oil in Italy.
