ORVA SPA

Orva: A Journey of Growth and Innovation Orva was founded in 1979 as a manufacturer of Piadina Romagnola. During the 1990s, the company began investing in industrial expansion, enlarging its factory to increase the production capacity of both bread and Piadina. In 2002, a radical change in ownership supported the company's industrialization. This led to the expansion of the factory and the installation of new automated production lines, effectively doubling production capacity. As a result, Orva was able to establish key partnerships with major clients, producing under their Private Label. In 2010, Orva acquired 100% of Global Food in Riccione, a company specializing in the production of fresh Piadina. In 2015, investments continued with the construction of a new 20,000 sqm factory, enabling Orva to expand its product range and enter new markets, both in Italy and abroad. Over the years, Orva has established itself as a leading manufacturer of bread and and bread substitutes, such as Piadina, soft sliced bread (Bauletto), toast bread (Pancarrè) and soft sandwich (Tramezzino), to which Pinsa, a major breakthrough in the bread industry, has been added in recent years. This depth of assortment has further strengthened its market position, both under its own brand and as a co-packer for major companies in large-scale distribution and industry. In addition, Orva has made significant progress in expanding its operations. The company has more than doubled its turnover, increasing from 40M€ in 2017 to a total of 85M€ in 2024, with with a turnover forecast for 2025 of over 100M€. Looking ahead, Orva aims to further expand into international markets, even though already having a presence in more than 15 foreign countries. By providing high-quality products made in Italy, the company is well-positioned to drive global growth. The increase in production capacity, supported by facility expansions and the installation of new production lines, has enabled Orva to meet—and continue to meet—the ever-growing demands of the market.
