Food Production

Appetais Italia S.p.A was established in 2001 from the merger of two companies: Comisal International, which handled purchases of raw materials, mainly seafood, for companies such as Palmera, Star and other partners, and Meno45, specialising in seafood processing and preparation. Right from the start, Appetais focused with great passion on developing and creating recipes and new ready-meal concepts with the main aim of anticipating and/or meeting the demands of increasingly discerning consumers, who look for tasty, healthy choices but who often have little time to devote to cooking. We have always been firmly convinced of the importance of handling the whole supply chain internally, delegating just a few marginal processes to carefully selected external suppliers. This enables us to maintain careful control over products and to improve constantly our processes in pursuit of the highest quality standards. Our production facilities, located in the industrial area of Genova Bolzaneto, have been designed to meet the strictest food and workplace safety standards, and with special attention to energy saving. Quality is our guiding principle – it is embedded in our entire business cycle: from the idea of a new product to its actual creation. The whole process is closely monitored by means of careful selection of suppliers, an array of product checks and analyses on raw materials, ongoing monitoring of production processes right up to checks on the end product. Our Control & Quality Assurance staff supervise production relying on the services of a multidisciplinary team of technicians and biologists and accredited external laboratories, thus guaranteeing optimum standards of food safety.
