The group produces for the most important Italian private labels as well as for its own brand DimmidiSì.
La Linea Verde is already active on foreign markets, and adopts multiple export strategies: selling finished products from Italy in neighbouring countries - both own brand and other store brands; exporting unwashed salads all over Europe, such as baby leaf - the company is one of the leading growers in Europe of this product, with an excellent performance since 2011; exporting the format “La Linea Verde Italia”, such as in the case of the company in Spain (guaranteed monitoring of the entire supply chain, i.e. total control of the product’s life cycle: from seeding and harvesting on the farms, through the production process, right up to delivery service).
La Linea Verde intends to develop its business in European markets, also in partnership with local partners. The Group is looking for distributors, exporters and agents, and for contact people from large-scale retailers.
La Linea Verde will be in the AOP UNOLOMBARDIA stand, Hall 4.2/ A-09. The entire management will be present for the duration of the event.
