Pinsami, the Emilia-based leader in premium pinsa bases, has once again secured a place in the Financial Times’ FT 1000 – Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies ranking, marking its fourth consecutive year on the list. The achievement underscores the company’s remarkable expansion, establishing a dominant position in domestic and international markets in just eight years.
Exports have been a key driver of this growth, surging 125% in 2023 and accounting for 55% of total revenue. By 2024, export sales are projected to generate 70% of turnover. Between 2020 and 2023, Pinsami’s revenue grew by 391.8%, rising from €4.89 million to €24.4 million. The company set another record in 2024, reaching €39 million in revenue—up 60% year-on-year.
Now holding a 14.3% share of Italy’s pinsa market (source: NIQ data as of 31/12/2024, retail Italy excluding discount channels), Pinsami has expanded its footprint to 37 international markets.
“We are proud to be recognized once again in the Financial Times ranking,” said CEO Fabio Grillo. “Since founding Pinsami in 2017, we have pursued a clear vision based on innovation and premium quality. This recognition reaffirms our leadership in a rapidly evolving market where we continue to set the pace.”
Now in its ninth edition, the FT 1000, compiled in partnership with German research firm Statista, ranks Europe’s fastest-growing companies based on compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2020 and 2023. With an absolute growth rate of 391.8% and a CAGR of 70.1%, Pinsami ranks 435th overall, 18th in the food sector, and sixth among Italian companies.
“Our rapid expansion results from a strategy focused on consumer needs,” added CEO and Commercial Director Mauro Dalle Vacche. “We anticipated demand for a product that is high-quality based and convenient—delivering taste, health benefits, and versatility. This approach has been instrumental in driving our success in Italy and abroad.”
