1. A global network for continuous supply
A global supply chain makes it possible to overcome seasonal limits. With fresh products, availability depends on local harvest cycles; with frozen products, however, Palimex offers consistent quality standards all year round, enabling pastry shops, restaurants, canning industries, and canteens to plan production and menus without interruption.
Each product is processed and frozen quickly after harvesting, preserving organoleptic properties and nutritional values to the fullest.
2. Egypt: the heart of the fruit and vegetable supply chain
Egypt has been one of Palimex’s key partners for years. From there come:
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Frozen artichokes
- Artichokes in brine
- Strawberries
Thanks to a favorable climate and advanced farming techniques, Egypt can guarantee abundant, high‑quality output. Fast sea links to Italian ports ensure efficient logistics and on‑time deliveries, even for large volumes.
These ingredients are used across many sectors: from industrial processing for preserves and ready meals to artisanal production for pizzerias and delicatessens.
3. Chile: excellence and innovation
From Chile, Palimex imports high‑value products:
- Green asparagus
- Pumpkin purée
The South American country is one of the main hubs for global agri‑food exports, thanks to a mix of favorable climate, modern cultivation, and rapid freezing processes. This ensures consistently available raw materials, ideal for innovative recipes and large‑scale production.
4. Europe: proximity and flexibility
The Palimex network also includes suppliers in Spain, Poland, Serbia, and Greece. From there come strawberries, berries, peaches, and European‑quality vegetables, with the advantage of fast logistics.
This proximity makes it possible to respond quickly to urgent orders and maintain a high level of flexibility—an essential factor for businesses that need to adjust volumes to market demand.
5. The advantage of frozen food
Choosing frozen ingredients brings tangible benefits to companies:
- Waste reduction: products can be used when needed, preventing spoilage and extra costs.
- Optimized inventory: ability to store large quantities without risk of deterioration.
- Consistent quality: flavors, textures, and nutritional properties remain stable thanks to rapid freezing.
- Versatility: products are already cleaned, portioned, and ready to use—ideal for high‑efficiency production lines.
6. Fast and controlled logistics
One pillar of Palimex’s strategy is integrated logistics. The transport network, with fast links from Egyptian, Chilean, and European ports, ensures:
- A continuously monitored cold chain from harvest to delivery.
- Reduced transit times, ideal for ongoing production.
- Reliable supplies, even during seasonal peaks or complex market conditions.
This approach ensures operational continuity, which is essential for industries, canteens, pastry shops, and industrial pizzerias.
7. Certified quality
Every Palimex product is traced and certified according to international standards:
- BRC (British Retail Consortium): a guarantee of food safety and quality.
- Organic (IT BIO 013 CERT): for product lines that meet environmental sustainability criteria.
These certifications reinforce Palimex’s position as a reliable partner for modern, safe, and compliant food supply chains.
