Rapanelli International Launches Rapanelli Procurement as Dedicated Institutional Division

Rapanelli International formally established Rapanelli Procurement as a specialised division focused on institutional procurement and complex international supply projects.

The brand was created to respond to the growing demand for structured sourcing, technical specification management, and execution reliability within development programs and large-scale agricultural and industrial initiatives.

While Rapanelli International continues to operate as an engineering-driven manufacturer, Rapanelli Procurement was designed to operate with a distinct mandate: managing multi-supplier sourcing, tender compliance, documentation control, and project coordination for bilateral and multilateral initiatives.

Over the past decade, the division has supported projects involving agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, and technical systems in challenging markets, working with international organisations, government entities, and development agencies.

By creating a dedicated procurement arm, the Group strengthened its ability to:

• Navigate institutional tender frameworks
• Ensure technical conformity across multi-product lots
• Coordinate global sourcing and inspection
• Mitigate execution risks in fragile or logistically complex environments

“Rapanelli Procurement was created to bring structure and technical discipline to international supply projects,” said Massimiliano Rapanelli, CEO of Rapanelli International. “It allows us to operate with the rigor required by institutional clients while maintaining the engineering mindset that defines our Group.”

The creation of Rapanelli Procurement represents a strategic extension of Rapanelli International’s core philosophy: delivering engineered solutions that work, where they are needed most.

Rapanelli International has completed the full acquisition of Inoltra, marking a decisive step in the structural evolution of the Group.

More than a corporate transaction, the integration reflects a deliberate strategy to consolidate engineering, procurement, and logistics within a single operational architecture.

Founded in 1922, Rapanelli has historically been recognized for its mechanical engineering expertise in olive oil processing and centrifugal separation technologies. Over the past decade, the Group expanded its activities through Rapanelli Procurement, developing strong capabilities in institutional procurement and complex international projects.

With the full integration of Inoltra, the Group now formalizes a three-pillar structure:

• Industrial Engineering & Manufacturing

• Institutional Procurement (Rapanelli Procurement)

• International Logistics & Project Execution (Inoltra)

This consolidated model enables Rapanelli International to manage the entire project lifecycle, from technical design and equipment manufacturing to sourcing, global transport, and on-site implementation.

The integration strengthens operational control, improves supply chain coordination, and enhances execution reliability in challenging and high-risk markets.

“This is a structural step forward for the Group,” said Massimiliano Rapanelli, CEO of Rapanelli International. “By aligning engineering, procurement, and logistics under one integrated framework, we are increasing our ability to deliver complete solutions with greater efficiency, transparency, and long-term value for our clients.”

The acquisition aligns with Rapanelli’s 2025 strategic direction centered on Best Value for Money, combining product quality, engineering know-how, procurement expertise, and logistical efficiency within a unified system.

In an increasingly complex global environment, this evolution positions Rapanelli International not only as a manufacturer, but as a fully integrated engineering and execution partner capable of delivering turnkey solutions across agricultural, industrial, and development sectors.
