La storia de I Medicei Group
It all began in the 1970s, when Loris Paoletti expanded the family butcher’s business introducing artisan- deli dishes. In 1995, the first facility was dedicated to fresh ready meals . From then, new expertise, acquisitions and complementary brands transformed the company into a structured group able to serve large-scale retail and food service with a broad, certified product portfolio.

Industrial evolution
Growing demand and an expanding customers trigger to the major industrial transformation:
- expansion of production facilities
- acquisition of new technologies
- development of automated lines
- production development for modern retail
The transition from an artisan workshop to a structured industrial organization increased production capacity and service continuity, without compromising attention to preparation and the selection of raw materials.
Growth through
strategic acquisitions
Between 2004 and 2025, I Medicei strengthened its market presence through strategic acquisitions and the development of specialized brands, expanding its expertise, technologies and product range.
Acquisitions:
- Pastificio Monti (fresh pasta)
- Magie di Pasta Fresca (fresh pasta)
- Victor Sauces and Pasta Sauces
- Chef Italia (frozen foods)
At the same time, I Medicei Gluten Free, Idea Snack, Pizza in Pasta, Salsissime, Yoummus and Sweet Lily were created.
Each brand has a specific role: cover complementary segments, serve specific distribution channels and build a complete food offering under a single industrial and quality management system.
