Poiatti SPA, or more simply Poiatti, is an Italian pasta manufacturing company based in Sicily.
History
[edit]Domenico Poiatti, born in 1921, in 1940 left Pian D'Artogne for military service. Domenico takes his small family to his native Pian D'Artogne; here he works in his uncle's old water-fed mill that grinds corn and dried chestnuts, but Poiatti returned to Mazara in 1946. Domenico opens a grocery store, then buys a small artisan pasta factory that became the current company.[2]
Production
[edit]Poiatti produces 100 forms of pasta with Sicilian wheat, from durum wheat semolina to eggs, from products made from bronze to Couscous.[3] Poiatti S.p.A. has a production plant in Mazara del Vallo on Sicily, with more than 60 employees.[2]
Distribution
[edit]In Italy, the Poiatti pasta is marketed and distributed directly by the company. In the foreign market (Europe, United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil) the distribution is managed by local partners.[4]
