Faravelli turns 100: from Milan roots to global distributor

Published: 24-Mar-2026

Founded in Milan in 1926, Faravelli is marking its centenary in 2026, highlighting a century of evolution into an international group specialised in the distribution of raw materials across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and fine chemicals industries

Over the past 100 years, the company has maintained an independent, family-owned structure—an approach that has enabled long-term strategic planning and consistent positioning in highly regulated and competitive markets.

Today, the company is led by the third generation, with Cinzia Faravelli and Luca Benati overseeing operations, while Alessandro Faravelli, son of the founder, serves as President.

The Group employs around 170 people and operates through fully owned subsidiaries in Germany, the Czech Republic (also covering Slovakia and Hungary), Spain, the United States, and China.

Faravelli’s offering combines the supply of high-quality raw materials with technical support, regulatory expertise, and supply chain reliability—key factors in industries where compliance, traceability, and consistency are essential.

Over time, the company has evolved from a distributor into a strategic partner, supporting customers in product development and helping them navigate increasingly complex regulatory frameworks.

Looking ahead, Faravelli aims to further expand its product portfolio, strengthen international partnerships, and invest in innovation and technical expertise to meet evolving market needs.

After 100 years, the company continues to focus on creating long-term value across the supply chain, supporting customers in delivering high-quality products that stand out in increasingly competitive markets.

Faravelli will be exhibiting at Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona this May (Booth UWA112), and welcoming partners and visitors there would be a truly special way to celebrate this milestone together.
