Ryoma Holding Company

What Ryoma Holding Company does

Ryoma Holding Company (legal entity Ryoma MC SPA, formerly Ryoma MC Srl) is a privately held Italian industrial holding company founded in 2012 and headquartered at Corso Italia 22 in Milan. The company operates a buy-and-build platform in the professional espresso coffee machine and food equipment sector, holding seven wholly-owned manufacturing brands: Astoria (1969, professional espresso machines), Wega (1985, espresso machines and grinders, acquired October 2012), CMA (espresso machines, acquired 2012), CIME (espresso machines), HLF (2004, Treviso-based semi and super-automatic machines plus cold beverage dispensers), Macap (1930, coffee grinders and bar equipment), and Storm Barista Attitude (specialty coffee machines, launched 2017 at Host Milano). The company is founder-controlled, with Federico Gallia serving as sole CEO since 2012.

The group sells through a B2B distribution model reaching 130 countries across five continents, with affiliated offices in the United States, France, Romania, and Russia supporting direct international sales (Astoria alone claims presence in over 150 countries). Revenue is generated from hardware sales of professional espresso machines, grinders, and specialty coffee equipment sold primarily to coffee professionals, hospitality operators, and coffee businesses. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. The portfolio spans the full professional coffee equipment stack — from traditional lever and semi-automatic espresso machines to super-automatic machines, cold beverage dispensers, grinders, and bar accessories — positioning the group as a multi-brand supplier to the global out-of-home coffee market.

The 2023 turnover is described on the company's own materials only as "millions of euros" without a specific figure, and no employee headcount is publicly disclosed. The company has no public listing, no disclosed external institutional investors, and operates as a self-funded holding entity. Strategic intent centers on strengthening each brand while expanding the group's geographic and product reach, particularly in the specialty coffee segment where Storm Barista Attitude was introduced as the platform's dedicated entry point.
