Di Marco, the Italian leading company in the production of flours and bases for pinsa romana (invented by founder Corrado Di Marco), has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Pizzami alongside the Galati family, who founded the company and will be reinvesting in a minority stake. Pizzami, a reference in the production of pizza, pinsa, and other 100% gluten-free baked products, leverages an extensive experience in the food service sector.
The acquisition is part of a strong growth trajectory for Di Marco, which doubled its turnover in just a few years reaching 60 million euros in 2024. With a long history of tradition and innovation, the company is recognized for the invention of pinsa and the high quality of its flours and bases for pinsa, both in food service and, more recently, in retail. It distributes its products in over 70 countries worldwide. By acquiring Pizzami, the Italian bakery company further strengthens its position in the gluten-free segment, expanding its product portfolio.
Pizzami is currently specializing in the gluten-free segment for both food service and retail. With a production plant in Parma, it is currently the third-largest Italian producer of gluten-free pizzas, pinsas, and baked products, that it exports worldwide.
“We are thrilled to welcome Pizzami into our group,” says CEO Alberto Di Marco. “This acquisition not only strengthens our commitment to excellence, tradition, and quality but also allows us to further expand our product offering, benefiting from the strong complementarities of the two companies.”
Roberto Galati, Pizzami’s CEO says, “Joining Di Marco is a great opportunity for us. We are confident that together we can continue to bring innovation to the pizza market, particularly for pinsa, offering high-quality products and further consolidating our position in the gluten-free segment.”
The acquisition of Pizzami follows the recent announcement of the set-up of Di Marco North America Corporation, the company’s subsidiary in the United States. These achievements enable Di Marco to consolidate its market leadership and further expand its international presence.
