Evangelists
Following nine years of growth and success, Pasta Evangelists is ready to scale to new heights. In 2021, the business was acquired by Barilla Group – the world’ s largest pasta producer, which was founded in 1877 and now boasts a multi-billion-euro turnover. Despite its size and geographical footprint, Barilla Group remains extremely connected to its family roots and core entrepreneurial values, an ethos which Pasta Evangelists shares – making the partnership a perfect fit.
“ When we first met the Barilla brothers at their headquarters in Parma in Italy, they told us that they loved the business and wanted us to be a part of their group. Alessandro, Finn, and I told them that we were excited to join, but also retain our independence, and Barilla absolutely respected that. Barilla is very aligned to that entrepreneurial spirit and it’ s that passion and sense of ownership that really connects us.”
