Even without written laws, the life of the fields in Molise has always been governed by a solemn and unchanging respect for farming traditions. In this same spirit, the Indalco story began one day in 1912. The Industria Alimentare Colavita was born in the municipality of Sant'Elia a Pianisi, near the city of Campobasso. The artisan character of its origins allowed the firm to grow and to gain the appreciation of the people of Molise. Today Indalco is a member of the Italian food industry and its products have expanded beyond the Italian national frontier to reach North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.

HISTORY

In 1979 the company moved to Ripalimosani, into a modern factory in the suburbs of Campobasso. This move marked Indalco's passage from a national to an international company. It was from the new 33,000 square metre factory that the first container of pasta was exported to Colavita USA in New Jersey in 1979.

This was the beginning of an export business that is still growing thanks to the quality of Colavita’s products. And since quality is a gift that does not pass unobserved in the world, the magazine “Bon Appetit” has devoted precious space in a special American edition to the flavours of Molise and to Indalco’s products.

To handle increasing output and exports, Indalco has made huge investments in plant modernization in recent years. The aim is to achieve the firm's principal objective: to mingle the ancient spirit of tradition with the requirements of the market, that is “To offer an artisan product at an industrial price“. The most up to date machinery has therefore been installed and all equipment aligned to the highest quality standards.

The Company

It was in 1951 that Bartolomeo Camardo, while visiting South America, first discovered the secrets of real coffee, and back to Italy he founded the company that is now one of the leading concerns in the industry.

A dynamic entrepreneurial spirit and a profound love for his work later led Bartolomeo to open a new coffee blending and roasting facility, in collaboration with his sons Giuseppe and Felice.
