Through its fund Alkemia Food Excellence I, Alkemia Capital has promoted the creation of Convivio S.p.A., a new Italian operating holding. The goal is to establish a leading hub in the fresh pasta and premium gastronomy sector by consolidating the best Made in Italy producers to compete on global markets. With an equity investment, the initiative aims to bring together centers of excellence, enhance expertise, promote innovation, and preserve the heritage of Italian culinary quality worldwide.
In this first phase, Alkemia has acquired 100% of five leading regional companies: Valsugana Sapori, Parmachef, Casanova Food, Pastificio Cecchin and Poggiolini — together generating approximately €27 million in revenue. Alkemia’s strategy is to support Convivio in doubling the group’s size, aiming to reach €100 million in revenue within five years. The founding families and long-standing managers will remain at the helm, ensuring continuity and a strong connection to both territory and tradition.
