Ma.Pr.I.Com.

What Ma.Pr.I.Com. does

Ma.Pr.I.Com. S.p.A. is a privately held Italian B2B importer and distributor of food raw materials founded in 1976 in Genoa by Mario Pastorino, who remains the principal executive. The company sources semi-finished vegetable products, dried fruits, and fish products from approximately 17 countries and supplies them to Italian canning factories and food-processing operators, with a secondary line into food distribution operators. It operates four registered private-label brands — San Feliù, Los Miguelitos, Prima Dama, and Zallo — covering canned vegetables, olives, mackerel, and other canned fish.

The core operating asset is a 14,000 sqm Genoa facility combining cold-chain storage (ambient, 0°–4°, -20°C), in-house analysis laboratories, processing departments, palletization, and an own vehicle fleet for last-mile delivery to customer sites. Real-time order-progress software tracks order status and net availability at the line level. The company holds BRC, IFS Broker, IFS Logistic, BIO, MSC, and ASC certifications, enabling it to serve conventional, kosher, and organic customer specifications.

The business model is B2B sales of food raw materials to Italian food processors and distributors via a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supplemented by third-party logistics and storage services. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (both own-brand and third-party), with pricing on a quote basis. Marketing relies on trade fair participation (Cibus, TuttoFood), a multilingual corporate website, and press/news distribution. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors; the company is founder-controlled and self-funded, with growth driven by operational investments such as the 2022 office expansion, 2017 warehouse digitalization, and photovoltaic installation.
