OVERVIEW

COMPANY

As a company, we are committed to making good food better. We believe in innovation as a way to grow and benefit our communities.

For over a century, our family business has thrived in the foods sector, due to our innovative outlook.

Although we have a proud Italian heritage, we have embraced a multinational approach and along with our base in Italy we now have offices in the UK, Brazil and Australia, while we distribute our products to over 40 countries worldwide.

Our range of authentic Italian food products represents 6 different product categories (tomatoes, legumes and vegetable products, sauces, condiments and grain products) and in each category we remain dedicated to delivering top-quality taste and nutrition, as well as attentive solutions in terms of sustainability and client service.

COMMITMENT

B-LIEVING IN DOING BUSINESS
THE RIGTH WAY

Coppola Foods aims to become a fully certified B-Corp business.The first step to achieve this has been the adoption in 2020 of the legal status of "Società Benefit" ("Benefit Corporation") for Coppola Industria Alimentare Srl in Italy and the commitment to B-Corp values in the company statute. A B Corp is a company that, while doing business, produces positive effects on the environment, territory and people. Our guiding principle is the creation of value for the actors involved along the supply chain, through a process of continuous improvement.
In particular, we pursue objectives of common benefit by focusing on our products, people and communities.
