It started with good sauce.

Giovanni Food Co., Inc. has been making pasta sauces since 1934, when the DeMent family (our current CEO’s grandmother and great aunt) opened a tavern and the customers asked to take the Italian sauces home. This demand inspired the DeMents to start their own line of pasta sauce, which soon expanded into four different lines of products. The DeMents saw an opportunity and took it—a precursor of what lay ahead for Giovanni Foods.

Changing with the times.

From that homespun beginning, Giovanni has evolved into a leading Private Label and Co-Packaging partner for emerging and established brands. As the food business has continually changed over the years, we’ve helped our customers adapt and thrive with market-driven solutions like organic, clean label, and seasonal products. As technologies and consumer tastes have continued to evolve, so have we.

“We can do that, but what if we try this?”

The driving force behind Giovanni’s progressive, think-first culture is its leadership team. Representing different areas of the industry, from product development to production, logistics to retail, their diverse backgrounds, along with their shared determination to find innovative solutions, help their customers compete.

Positioned for the future.

Now more than ever, consumers and information are driving the food industry. Specialized, healthier product lines are in demand, as are single serving sizes that benefit a millennial lifestyle. Trends are ever changing. At Giovanni, we are built to respond to a shifting marketplace. We are nimble and flexible by design so that we can move quickly to find the solutions that will help our clients adapt and succeed. We’ve come a long way since 1934, but finding and seizing upon market-driven opportunities is forever in our DNA.
