What Arcobaleno does
Arcobaleno Pasta Machines, LLC is a US-domiciled (Pennsylvania), founder-owned manufacturer of fresh pasta equipment for the foodservice industry. Founded in 1995 by Antonio and Maja Adiletta in Vancouver, BC and relocated to Lancaster, PA in 2002, the company designs and builds pasta extruders, dough sheeters, multi-function machines (mixing, sheeting, cutting, ravioli), gnocchi and stuffed-gnocchi machines, cappelletti and ravioli machines, pasta cutters, dryers, carts, electric and gas pasta cookers, and ancillary items including flour mills and bain-marie warmers. Its product range spans compact countertop extruders (AEX5 through AEX30, priced around $5,000 for the AEX18/20 with a stated 30-day ROI) up to industrial extruders (AEX50 through AEX440), and is differentiated by a proprietary library of approximately 200 interchangeable pasta dies and an in-house machine shop (GAM Precision) for custom die fabrication. The company also operates a 30,000 sq ft Lancaster, PA facility that houses warehousing, business operations, an on-site pasta lab, and a demonstration/test kitchen used for product testing and Field Accepted Testing.
Arcobaleno serves full-service restaurants (fine dining, casual dining, Italian), hotels and casinos, supermarkets with fresh prepared foods, universities and culinary schools, banquet and catering operations, and foodservice consultants. Named customers span enterprise (Carbone, Wolfgang Puck, Phillies sports team, Founding Farmers, Drexel University), mid-market (SheWolf Pastificio, Cry Baby Pasta, Teresa's Italian Eatery, Charcoal BYOB where extruded pasta is 40% of sales), and SMB (Charleston Bread bakery with a $35,000 pasta lab). Its go-to-market combines a nationwide US dealer network (Tri-State Marketing, DLT Sales, WB Marketing, BSE Keystone, REDCO, FESMA, FER, and others) with field sales, AutoQuotes B2B platform integration, direct website sales, and event presence at NRA Show, Pizza Expo, NAFEM, and Pizza & Pasta Northeast. The company describes itself as the only full-service pasta machine supplier in North America, offering not only equipment but also training, testing, parts, and service as a bundled offering, and in 2026 announced the Arcobaleno Pasta U structured education program to extend the model into recurring curriculum revenue. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing and no disclosed revenue, and operates with 11-50 employees from its single Lancaster, PA headquarters.
