Italy’s leading provider of rent-to-reuse solutions for the rental and maintenance of professional equipment for the catering and food processing industries.
Founded in 1988 by Antonio Ferraro and Michele Narducci, Eurocoltellerie is Italy’s leading provider of rent-to-reuse solutions for the rental and maintenance of professional equipment for the catering and food processing industries. The company projects a turnover exceeding € 20 million in 2024[1] and serves over 25,000 points of sale throughout Italy, including supermarkets, as well as traditional channels (butcher shops, fishmongers, delicatessens, etc.), the Ho.Re.Ca.[2] sector and food processing companies.
Eurocoltellerie has established itself as a market leader due to its business model and technological innovation, becoming the first player in Europe to industrialise treatment and maintenance processes through robotic automation. Thanks to this process automation, Eurocoltellerie guarantees efficiency and consistent quality, significantly extending equipment lifecycle and promoting a circular economy model with positive economic and environmental impacts. Furthermore, the rent-to-reuse business model ensures operators continuity of service, consistent product performance, and the outsourcing of non-strategic activities, often associated with health and safety risks if carried out at individual points of sale.
With the Fund’s investment, Eurocoltellerie will be able to pursue its growth in line with the objectives of its industrial plan. These include consolidating its domestic market presence and prioritising international expansion into key European markets, as well as enhancing its technological model to optimize circularity.
