Mataluni Oleifici

The Oleifici Mataluni, born in 1935 in Montesarchio (Benevento) from a small family sized mill, are one of the most important agro-industrial mill complexes in the world. They develop the entire production process in-house: crushing, refining, bottling in glass containers, PET and tin; production of PET bottles, caps, packaging and labels. Since 1980, the industry has been led by the President Biagio Mataluni that - together with his wife Elvira, brothers Fabio, Vincenzo and Domenico, his son Biagio Flavio and his brother-in-law Gaetano Avino - has boosted the activities undertaken by his grandfather, specializing in private label and brand products in the Italian and foreign big retail distribution. In 2006, the Oleifici Mataluni start a major strategic plan that will lead to the acquisition of the brands Topazio and OiO, as well as smaller labels originally owned by the companies Chiari & Forti SpA, resulting in a shortening of the supply chain for the benefit of the consumer and the agricultural world. Then they purchase from Carapelli S.p.A. other 11 brands of olive oils, including Lupi and Minerva, which belonged to the famous Ligurian company Minerva Agricultural Food. In 2009 they take over the brand Olio Dante from the Spanish group Sos - Cuetara, taking back to Italy after 24 years the historic Italian label of the Supreme Poet, created by Giacomo Costa in Genoa in 1854, and giving a major new impetus to the Made in Italy. Finally, in 2011 they define the passage of the brand Olita from Star, with whom they start a collaboration on the food service channel.
