In 2020, the private label made it possible to save over 2 billion euros for Italian families, equal to a saving of 100 euros for each family. But that's not all: the private label activates a chain of 1,500 companies, of which about 85% are small and medium-sized enterprises and 92% are Italian; supports a network of 235,000 direct and indirect employees along the entire supply chain; allows the entry of many Italian SMEs into the mass market; contributes to the protection of Made in Italy and to the defense of the quality and variety of the Italian food and wine tradition.
