The San Benedetto Group welcomed Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, to its mineral water production facility and headquarters for an institutional visit focused on the role of Italian industry in global markets.
Tajani was received by Enrico Zoppas, President and CEO of the group, board members Matteo Zoppas and Tullio Versace, and General Manager Frédéric Barut. The delegation accompanied the Minister through the plant, showcasing the group’s advanced technologies, industrial processes, and organizational model.
The visit provided an opportunity to discuss key topics such as international market outlooks, the value of exports, and the strategic importance of Made in Italy, a sector that — through recognized quality, reliability, and industrial capability — positions Italian excellence prominently across global markets.
“We are honored by the visit of Vice Premier and Minister Tajani,” said Enrico Zoppas. “Dialogue with institutions is essential to enhance a sector that brings Made in Italy to the world and contributes significantly to our country’s competitiveness. San Benedetto continues to invest in innovation, international growth, and the development of products that best reflect Italian quality.”
Antonio Tajani emphasized the company’s role in boosting Italy’s global reputation: “The visit to the San Benedetto group has once again confirmed how our industrial excellences represent Italy worldwide. We are looking at a company that successfully exports beyond our borders, demonstrating capability, vision, and a strong Made in Italy identity. These are precisely the kinds of businesses we must continue to invest in and rely on: companies that innovate, compete internationally, and contribute to the government’s goals. Their commitment strengthens the image and value of our country abroad,” stated the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The visit underscored San Benedetto’s ongoing contribution to Italy’s industrial prominence and highlighted the importance of public–private collaboration in sustaining the global competitiveness of the Made in Italy brand.
