The history of co. Altoni begins in 1993 in Antwerp, when Toni, an Italian passionate about cooking and in love with his homeland, opens a small laboratory where he begins to produce fresh handmade pasta for local restaurants.
After a few years, in 1999, the business was taken over by Johnny, the current manager, who moved the laboratory to a new location in Schoten. Although the production of pasta was a discovery for Johnny, considering that the family had owned a fresh and cured meat factory for generations, success for him was not long in coming.
Thanks to the close relationship with the Chef and continuous innovation, co. Altoni is able to offer a wide and high quality range: both the pasta and the fresh fillings are prepared with the best Italian ingredients that come from trusted family businesses and which ensure the Altoni products a constant quality.
The first meeting between co. Altoni and Italpast dates back to the end of the 90s when Johnny, at the dawn of his business in the world of pasta, contacted Giuseppe Beani, one of the founding partners of Italpast, with a need: he required assistance for an old Italpast machine just bought second hand.
To give him all the support he needed, Mr. Beani left for Belgium to get to know Johnny and the new reality he was building. He immediately recognized in co. Altoni a great value: an excellent quality in all their production of fresh and frozen pasta.
From the first moment Johnny proved to be a very helpful person and open to discussion, and this has played a great advantage for Italpast. Thanks to his wide experience in the pasta sector, Mr. Beani was able to provide him with the right advice for his business, conveying great reliability.
Our collaboration witnesses the fact that, when passion for one’s work meets seriousness and technical competence, a successful project can be created based on mutual trust and transparency.
It’s not just about work, but the sharing of values and experiences leads to the establishment of important personal relationships, destined to last over time.
