One hundred years of history are measured not only by time, but by the relationships built, the challenges overcome and the ability to evolve while staying true to one’s identity.
With this spirit, Faravelli celebrated its Centenary on June 5 in Milan, the city where the company was founded in 1926 and where its historic headquarters remain today.
More than 400 guests from Italy and abroad, including employees, customers, suppliers, partners and stakeholders, gathered to celebrate a milestone that represents not only a century of entrepreneurial activity but also the beginning of a new chapter of growth.
The Centenary claim, “Next Begins Now,” reflects Faravelli’s approach to the future: transforming experience into new opportunities, new markets and new challenges.
Founded in 1926 by the visionary entrepreneur Giusto Faravelli, Faravelli is a global distributor of raw materials and ingredients serving the food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical and animal nutrition industries.
While continuously expanding its international presence, the company has preserved its Milanese roots, strong Italian identity and family governance, which have supported its development across generations.
Today, Faravelli continues its journey under the leadership of Alessandro Faravelli, the founder’s son and Chairman of the Group, while day-to-day operations are led by the third generation of the family, represented by Cinzia Faravelli (Managing Director) and Luca Benati (CEO).
During the official opening of the event, Luca Benati highlighted the significance of the milestone and the role played by the people who contributed to the company's success:
One hundred years is a very significant span of time for a nation; imagine what it represents for a company. Faravelli’s history has been an intertwining of generations. It is our employees, customers and partners who make Faravelli what it is today. Tonight, we celebrate a story that began in 1926 thanks to my grandfather, but above all we share the responsibility and enthusiasm of continuing to build the future.
