We’re an Italian family business that has ventured the world.
A lot of things have changed since we started out in the eighties,
while we have vowed never to change others.
Such as our interest towards new things,
the commitment to growing in a healthy and sustainable way, and enterprise.
We really haven’t stopped in all these years.
More specifically, we have selected and processed
our raw ingredients (grains, pulses and seeds)
for 35 years and yes, we know them well.
Our lucky numbers
Guerrino Pedon and his sons Franco, Sergio and Remo start out as food wholesalers.
Since they could never keep still, the 3 brothers decide to stake on the processing and packaging of food products and buy their first packaging machine.
As well as being a close family, Pedon also becomes a firm in this year.
Time to put down roots – the new location in Vicenza’s area opens.
ACOS Ethiopia is born, where Pedon goes one step further and opens a school.

Save time and eat better?
This is the year of C’è di Buono, the first quick-cook meal line.
To keep up with the times, Pedon introduces I Salvaminuti. Time it to believe it.
New ready-made products or new ready-made cereals, same attitude:
a healthy, quick meal is possible, and the 90 secondi launch onto the market.
Pedon lands in North America and asks itself “why stop at pasta if we can create More than pasta?”
Pedon presents its pulse pasta.
New logo, new life.
“I Pronti” and “Legumes made as snacks” are born, launched on the market with a completely new and original communication campaign on TV, on social media and digital.
We’re attracted by everything new, because only through encouraging the exchange of ideas can we launch innovation that creates value for the future.
We’re dreamers, spontaneous and courageous.
Setting goals beyond apparent possibilities is the way
that we know to achieve ambitious results.
We believe that our role goes far beyond mere profit. We therefore aspire towards healthy and sustainable growth which translates into lasting prosperity that is beneficial to society.
We’re aware that nothing is as great as something carried out with commitment.
Therefore, each day we bring into play all our talents,
without presumption and with total dedication.
To contribute to feeding
10 billion people without the need
for another planet.
