We believe that good food is a heritage to be preserved and passed on
A contemporary vision of Italian food. A value to protect and develop
Unitrading Group is an integrated Italian food ecosystem capable of creating value for businesses, distribution partners and the market. The Group brings together different yet complementary companies, united by a common purpose: to enhance the value of food through a food culture rooted in quality, authenticity and rigorous standards.
The Group stems from the extensive knowledge of the food industry developed by Claudio Cimardi over more than fifty years of experience in the meat, cured meats, cheese and traditional Italian food sectors.
A heritage to preserve and build upon, which over time has evolved into a system capable of integrating methodology, consulting, distribution, the promotion of local food heritage and professional training.
We integrate
vision, experience and expertise
At the heart of Unitrading Group is the belief that value comes from the ability to bring different yet complementary businesses together under a shared vision.
From knowledge of raw materials to an understanding of the needs of large-scale retail and the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, from product selection to the development of new distribution models, through to professional training and the promotion of food culture.
Different areas of expertise that come together within the Group under a common direction, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the food market.
A place
is much more than a geographical area
The connection with Parma and the Po Valley is an integral part of this identity: a place where food is not simply about production, but also about culture, knowledge, experience, tradition and entrepreneurship.
These are the roots of Unitrading Group: a new way of interpreting Italian food, built on respect for its origins while embracing the evolution of the market.
Vision
We believe in an Italian food industry that looks to the future while preserving what makes it unique.
For Claudio Cimardi, the future of Italian food lies in its ability to evolve while staying true to its roots, expertise and authenticity.
Unitrading Group was founded on this vision and turns it into a connected ecosystem: bringing Italy’s food heritage into the present and enhancing its value through expertise, innovation and new market opportunities.
Experience → Vision → An ecosystem of expertise
