JUN. JUL. 2020 II for the purpose, a dedicated logistics and communications system and, above all, a rapid response task force. Instead, the United Nations agency that presides over public health, the World Health Organization, is only tasked with studying epidemics and following their course, but not with intervening to repress them. So, now we pick up the pieces of what the Coronavirus tsunami destroyed. All CIC members have resumed - some before others - their activity. There is one thing, however, that we all have in common: we must realise that at this time our customers, the restaurants, pizzerias, delicatessens and bars are those in the most difficulty. Liquidity is the problem. It’s true, we still have the attendance problem. Patrons aren’t as many as they were previously. But we must be hopeful, and wait for the panic to pass. In the meantime, us wholesalers must equip ourselves to make deliveries with minimal orders and also be able to provide targeted advice, useful to support the sector’s recovery. Let’s try to see the light at the end of the tunnel! By Antonio Bocchi AT PAGE 8 MEMBERS Emilia Romagna and Veneto Veneto and Emilia Romagna are respectively the fourth and fifth regions in Italy in terms of number of companies active in catering services: the former counts 26,177, the latter 25,402 (source: Fipe 2019). A rich catchment area for the members of Cic that even in this period of emergency due to Covid-19 do not lack to remain active in the territory. And ready for the next restart. By Chiara Bandini Salsocarni Offer Alongside the historic core business represented by meat, over the years the company has introduced over 1,700 items in its catalogue, ranging from canned meat to oils, from fresh and mature cheeses to the typical cured meats of Emilia- Romagna such as 30-month Parma ham, Felino salami, culatello di Zibello DOP, as well as frozen fish and vegetables. Not forgetting also foreign specialties, such as Iberian pork or pata negra, and a wide and uncommon range of spices. A range that allows you to respond to the diversified and complex needs of today’s catering industry. Strong points Founded in 1981, it makes the ability to transfer the basic concepts of traditional butchery to wholesale and catering, translated into a handcrafted approach, its distinctive feature. It guarantees a precise traceability of the entire supply chain through a digitisation process that begins with the entry of meat batches, continues with the production processes (boning, portioning, packaging) and ends with the shipment. Thanks to a flexible structure and a fast and efficient delivery service, it can guarantee chefs all types of meat cuts even in small quantities ready to be cooked and served. News Thanks to an agreement with Fiorital, a leading Italian company active in the fresh fish market, the DYP catering project has been launched. The strict protocol that the latter imposes provides for an accurate selection of fish, cut within a few hours of fishing, frozen very quickly down to -120 degrees, stored at -50 degrees until delivery to the caterers, who thus have at their disposal a wide range of high-quality products ready to use in a few minutes. ______________________________ Ristogamma Offer Historical focus of the company, founded in 1977, are the meats and cold cuts. The activity then expanded to other sectors, specialising in products dedicated to catering, including fresh and frozen meat, frozen fish, frozen vegetables, dairy products, canned goods, dried and frozen pasta, various varieties of vegetable oils, non-food products, detergents, cleaning. Strengths It boasts broad experience and expertise in the processing, transformation of meat and cold cuts, capitalised thanks to the contribution of highly specialised workers. The capillary and timely distribution system of goods allows to deliver daily and with absolute punctuality to customers. News/Strategies 2020 In response to the needs highlighted with the Covid-19 emergency and with a view to guaranteeing an additional service, the offer was implemented with new references, useful to comply with the hygiene regulations imposed by the pandemic.

Strong points The company’s activities are based on three main cornerstones. The first is represented by the employees, who all have past work experience as cooks or restaurant owners, including the owner. The second refers instead to the constant care in the selection of products. The third, finally, coincides with the ability to collect the stimuli coming from Italian and foreign customers so as to be always looking for new products able to meet the needs of a market in continuous evolution. News/Strategies 2020 During the stop of the Horeca channel imposed by the Covid-19 emergency, the company put its own means and operators at the disposal of private individuals by activating a home delivery service with the aim of ensuring that the quality products previously found only in restaurants were not missing from the home pantries. ______________________________ Siqur Offer Over 7,000 products guarantee a wide, versatile and constantly updated assortment in all product categories.
