We are Sammontana Italia. Our story began with three brothers, a dream, and gelato served at local cafés. Over time, it has grown into a remarkable journey, merging with other family businesses to become a leading group in the production and distribution of gelato, baked goods, and frozen pastries, serving both Italy and the world.
With over €900 million in revenue and more than 2,400 employees, we are a thriving enterprise supported by a dedicated investment fund that shares our vision: delivering products that cater to every moment of the day, across the globe.
Headquartered in Empoli, we operate six production facilities in Italy, one in France, and one in the United States.
Our portfolio includes iconic brands such as Sammontana Gelati all’Italiana, Tre Marie, Bindi, Il Pasticcere, Forno d’Asolo, La Donatella, Bonchef, Mongelo, and Gelpat. These brands are built on a foundation of innovation, care, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
We’ve grown alongside our customers, helping to shape the traditional café channel. Today, we also support its evolution with new service concepts, positioning ourselves as a trusted provider for all frozen product needs.
As reliable and experienced partners to modern retail, we also offer private label solutions, solidifying our role as a leader in the food industry both in Italy and internationally—all while maintaining the power of our signature Smile.
A thriving food industry in Italy and worldwide, powered by the strength of its Smile.
