We are Gelit

Doing things well is good for everyone.

I tasted the ravioli with sauce. Fantastic. My daughter doesn’t eat sauce, but yours is spectacular and she told me: “Well done mom!”

Sarah, Gelit customer

At Gelit, we work for this every day. Making products that bring moments of joy and sharing together. To do this, we are constantly developing new technologies to produce frozen dishes that preserve their aromas and flavors once they leave our kitchens.

Today, our frozen products reach the tables halfway around the world, offering a simple and healthy experience of taste to hundreds of thousands of people.

Everything starts in the heart of Agro Pontino, at our production site just a stone’s throw from The Garden of Ninfa. Being close to this wonder of nature encourages us to do more and more to protect it.

Healthy and exciting dishes, innovative technologies at the service of taste, respect for the environment and the people. This is our recipe for the company we want to be.

Mission & Values

The way we do things.

Gelit is a community of people who work together, and through the business, it cares for and contributes to the progress of people, the environment and the places where it operates. Gelit’s business is about good food made with care.

At Gelit, we work every day with the goal of becoming a benchmark among Italian frozen food production companies. We do not only want to stand out for the quality of our products, but also for how we make them. After all, we are more than a company, we are a community of people working together for the well-being of our people and the protection of our land.

We want to make good food, the right way, taking care of those who choose our products, the people who work with us, the environment in which we work and live, and the community of which we belong.

Purpose

Three fronts, one goal. Doing well and doing it better every day.

AMBIENTE

Environment

nstantly working to lower our environmental impact every day. Using increasingly fewer resources, with packaging made from 100% recycled paper, reducing total waste by 7% in 2022, and recovering more than 270 tons of paper waste in circularity, progressively using more and more energy from renewable sources.

PERSONE

The people

The people who work with us are the focus of our attention and supporting them is our priority. In 2022, 21% of the profits were distributed as bonuses to 95% of the employees, and also to support them during the health emergency. Over 12,400 hours of training were also provided.

COMUNITA

Community

Most of us were born and grew up here in the Agro Pontino area, and we all owe respect and gratitude to this region. Taking care of our community is our priority. In 2022, more than 18,750 kg of food (+37%) was donated to families in need and goods collections were organized for Caritas, a local charity organization. Furthermore, we have been supporting neighboring companies for years by progressively narrowing our supply chain.

Quality

The quality we cherish.

“First of all, our dishes must be delicious. For this reason, we have them tested by the strictest judges: ourselves.”
Sabina

It seems like an abstract concept. But there is nothing more concrete than quality. After all, Gelit applies the quality principle to everything. To the creation of new recipes, created to win you over at first taste, and the way we prepare our dishes, respecting authentic ingredients and flavours and also the people who choose and process those ingredients.

It is precisely this ongoing commitment for quality that has led us to obtain important certifications such as BRCGS (Grade A) and IFS (Higher Level). A fine guarantee of good and safe products that comply with all laws governing the food sector.

But for us, quality is not only about bringing healthy and safe products to the table. There is always only one basic requirement of our dishes: to be incredibly appetizing.

We test them ourselves. Twice a week, we all gather around a big table to eat and chat. The selection is tough: only the best dishes make it!

Legislative Decree 231/01

The rules that make us better.

Gelit has decided to comply with the decree that represents a turning point in the Italian legislative system: Legislative Decree 231/01. What does this mean? It means that it has chosen to adopt a Code of Ethics, an Organization, Management and Control Model, adopting the directives of the decree itself.

Compliance for us does not only mean following an indication from the institutions, but represents an opportunity for transparency and growth for the company. An extract from the Organizational, Management and Control Model and the Code of Ethics is available for anyone who wishes to consult it.

In accordance with Legislative Decree 21, Gelit has appointed a Supervisory Body with the email address gelitorganismo231@gelit.it. With its support, the company endeavors to comply with the provisions of the decree and, in the event of any actions contrary to the provisions, to immediately terminate the
