Explore OurCompany’s History
For more than a century, Rapanelli has evolved through engineering, innovation, and real-world application.
Each milestone reflects a technical response to the needs of producers, operators, and industries working under demanding conditions.
Foundation
Rapanelli is founded in Umbria, Italy, with a focus on mechanical craftsmanship and early industrial equipment for agriculture. From the beginning, the company develops machines designed to work reliably in real operating environments, laying the foundations for future specialisation in extraction and separation.
Business Consolidation
Rapanelli Fioravante becomes one of the leading Italian manufacturers of olive oil machinery, employing more than 500 people. This period marks the transition from artisanal production to structured industrial manufacturing, with growing emphasis on process efficiency and mechanical standardisation.
Sinolea® Innovation
Rapanelli introduces the patented Sinolea® extraction method, a revolutionary cold-drip system based on surface tension rather than centrifugal force. Sinolea® becomes the only true alternative to centrifugation, setting a new reference point for olive oil quality, polyphenol retention, and low-temperature processing. This innovation defines Rapanelli’s identity as an engineering-driven company, not just a machine builder.
Global Expansion
International Expansion
Rapanelli equipment is now installed in more than 28 countries. The company’s technologies are adopted by producers worldwide, confirming the reliability and adaptability of its systems across different cultivars, climates, and production scales.
