PEVIANI: innovation, quality, and service

PEVIANI boasts a long history of excellence, thanks to its involvement and experience gained over almost a century in the fruit and vegetables sector. Over the years, the company has developed to cover all stages of the supply chain: from production, to marketing, to widespread distribution throughout Europe. 

PEVIANI sells only the very best products, grown in the most suitable areas in Italy and the world: this result is obtained by using the best manufacturing standards on its own farms and those of selected partners. 

All phases of PEVIANI’s supply chain are carried out with careful consideration for environmental, social, and economic sustainability, all of which are indispensible values for the collective well-being of the community. 

A family history spanning 100 years

The history of PEVIANI is that of a family of entrepreneurs sharing a project that has spanned four generations. It’s a love story written for nature and his products, fruits and vegetables, whose charm is difficult to escape. 

From 1920 to today, many a man has passed the torch and affirmed the same values of the business but it was Gino Peviani who started it all. The son of farmers from Lodi sets up the very first commerical company.
