In the industrial pasta production sector, the choice of raw materials is a strategic decision. It’s not just about selecting high-quality ingredients — it’s about ensuring production continuity, line efficiency, and food safety.
At Palimex, we work every day to support pasta manufacturers and food companies specialized in filled pasta, frozen pasta, and ready meals. We offer a comprehensive range of frozen and brined ingredients specifically designed to meet the needs of the industry.
Our objective is clear: to provide reliable solutions that make our clients’ daily operations easier, while ensuring traceability, regulatory compliance, and operational flexibility.

A supply chain designed for efficiency
Our supply model is built on a certified international supply chain, active for over twenty years. We work with selected agricultural producers in different regions, choosing raw materials based on strict quality, safety, and sustainability criteria.
This network allows us to offer stable, scheduled supplies — even during challenging times of the year or in complex market conditions.
Traceability is guaranteed at every stage: from field harvesting to processing, through to storage and transportation. Every batch is monitored and documented in accordance with hygiene requirements and European regulations.
Thanks to a controlled cold chain and the use of advanced preservation technologies, our ingredients retain their physical and nutritional properties — a key factor for the industry, where product stability is essential.
Why pasta manufacturers need tailored solutions
Industrial pasta production requires a delicate balance between artisanal quality and large-scale efficiency. Processes are standardized, automated, and continuously monitored. Every ingredient must integrate seamlessly with machinery and production schedules, without causing delays or yield inconsistencies.
Vegetables and ingredients used in fillings, sauces, or toppings must deliver visual consistency, stable texture, and resistance to processing. They must also adapt to different production stages, from mixing to cooking.
In this context, frozen and brined products offer a highly effective solution. Compared to fresh produce, these ingredients provide greater flexibility, reduce waste, allow for more accurate planning, and minimize risks related to seasonality or crop variability.
Selected ingredients for industrial use
Over the years, we have developed a product offering tailored to the primary applications of the pasta industry. Our ingredients are designed for complex productions such as filled pasta, frozen pasta, gnocchi, chilled ready meals, and savory baked goods.
While we do not go into specific formats or processing details — as these vary based on customer needs — we offer a carefully selected variety of vegetables and other ingredients, available in formats suitable for industrial use.
Each product is designed to ensure:
- mechanical resistance during processing
- compatibility with multiple cooking stages or assemblies
- consistent visual and flavor performance over time
The ability to work with standardized and traceable batches is an added value for industrial customers, who can more easily integrate our ingredients into their production lines.
A collaborative approach
We do not simply supply raw materials. Our approach is collaborative and consultancy-driven. We work closely with our clients’ R&D, quality, and production teams to understand specific needs and suggest ingredients compatible with their recipes and technologies.
In many cases, the supply process is preceded by a testing or sampling phase to evaluate ingredient performance in the actual production environment. This allows us to build long-term relationships based on transparency, technical support, and adaptability.
In a sector where every detail affects the final product, acting as a partner — not just a supplier — sets us apart.
Food safety and compliance as core values
Compliance with food safety standards is an integral part of our operations. We are BRC certified and committed to ensuring that every stage of the supply chain — from raw material selection to packaging — is fully traceable and documented.
For companies operating in the organic sector, we offer certified organic (BIO) products that comply with both Italian and European regulations. This enables our clients to meet the needs of markets with high demand for certified quality.
All our ingredients are supported by complete technical documentation, microbiological analyses, and up-to-date product data sheets — available upon request.
A trusted partner for market challenges
Today’s food industry is facing increasingly complex challenges: rising production costs, global supply instability, and growing demands for transparency from consumers. In this context, choosing a reliable supplier becomes a critical decision.
With Palimex, pasta manufacturers find a strong, experienced partner focused on performance. We don’t just offer ingredients — we provide tailored solutions, integrated into an efficient supply chain and designed to simplify everyday production management.
