AIPC has en tered a “new chap ter” of op timism af ter some pretty rough go ing in the re cent past. The dry pasta mar ket overall suf fered some losses from a drop in sales; AIPC as a result had to cut its work force and re duce in ven tory; ad di tion ally, its finan cial re ports go ing back to 2002 had to be re stated which re sulted in the com pany facing a number of law suits about mis repre sen ta tion of those re ports; and its ex ecutive suite has a clean sweep of personnel. Now John Kelly, first as COO, ef fec tive Janu ary 2008, took over as presi dent and CEO. The com pany in its cur rent fi cal year ( end ing Sept. 28, 2007) turned a net loss of $30.4 mil lion in the pre vi ous year to a net in come of $5.3 million. AIPC pro-

duces some 200 dry pasta shapes, cov ering some 2,700 skus. It be lieves it is the larg est pro ducer of dry pasta in North Amer ica (93% of its reve nues). Ma jor cus tom ers like Wal- Mart and Sy sco rep re sent a sub stain tial por tion of its reve nues. New strate gies are now in place, which call for re- pricing of products, cost re duc tions in op era tions, and set ting the mar ket ing tar get toward a smaller base for a more prof itable vol ume. This means less em pha sis for AIPC on pri vate la bel and its in gredi ent mar kets. AIPC is verticallyintegrated via its mill ing, produc tion and dis tri bu tion fa cili ties in three U.S. lo ca tions and one in It aly.

The ur bani za tion and growth of Rome since the last cen tury has chased Pantan ella Sud out of town, but not out of the hearts of Ital ians, who rec og nize its brands, Fer rari (La Pasta d’ Ita lia), Pan tan ella, and Agostini, for their taste, pro duced ex clu sively with first- quality du rum wheat semo lina. The com pany was founded in 1882, situ ated just one mile from the Co los seum. But in the 1930s, af ter build ing a new larger factory in the sub urbs, that lo ca tion quickly be came sur rounded by downtown Rome, forc ing an other move in the 1970s out to an in dus trial park near Pomezia, just 25 kilo me ters south of Rome. To day, this highly- automated factoryfeaturesmodernproduction lines with a ca pac ity of about 120 tons of pasta prod ucts each work ing day (three shifts daily), usu ally on a seven- daysper- week sched ule. Out put cov ers hundreds of dif fer ent pasta va rie ties (by size, thick ness and shape), packed in 500 gram or one- pound net cel lo phane bags (20 bags per box)

By 1942, Clem ent Pap pas then went off on his own to start a can ning fac tory, which grew and af ter his death came un der the di rec tion of his two sons, Dean and Pe ter. By 1970s, the company was pro duc ing fruit juices in glass bot tles. Through ac qui si tion of the Se abrook Foods fa cil ity in Se ab rook, NJ, the com pany tri pled its ca pac ity. Its an nual out put cov ers more than 600 dif fer ent brands of juices plus blended juice products and proc essed jel lies and sauces made from cran ber ries.
