Our mission

M&C was born from the Castaldo family’s decades of experience in the field of cured meats and cheeses.

In 1986, as careful observers, they sensed the changes both in distribution and in the way consumers shop.

Thus was born a company that (ahead of its time) dealt with the slicing and packaging of cold cuts and cheeses.

In addition to extending more on the national territory, the company, projected in Europe, gradually acquires customers also abroad, demonstrating the possibility of combining flexibility and efficiency with an excellent product quality. To date, M&C continues to develop its volumes in the G.D.O. with Players such as Auchan, Carrefour, Aldi, Lidl, national Conad, Md-LD, Multicedi, Penny Market, Italia Discount, Todis, Sigma, Ergon, Sagegross etc. In industry: Galbani Egidio s.p.a, Granarolo, Nuova Caselli spa etc.

BRC, IFS, ISO 22005 certified since 2006 with the Bureau Veritas certifying body for the portioning and packaging of cured meats and cheeses in a protective atmosphere and under vacuum.
