Meet Emilio
For Emilio the table is the heart of the home. Growing up in Milan, he witnessed first-hand the impact that tradition has on Italian cooking. Learning that there is no pleasure as great as sharing a meal, Emilio set out to share his knowledge and passion with the world.
Emilio moved to the U.S. to attend college and quickly landed a job working for the Cafferata Ravioli Factory, the oldest pasta factory on the west coast, where he applied modern and highly efficient pasta machines imported from Italy.
Once the factory was sold, Emilio traveled back to Italy to attend conventions and tradeshows, where he learned about new, modern machinery and more efficient ways of pasta manufacturing. Upon his return to the states in the summer of 1979, EMILIOMITI was born.
At first Emilio focused his business on importing pasta machinery for restaurants and small manufacturing companies, which was a new and growing business in North America.
As his company grew, Emilio encountered a demand for new kinds of Italian products, like espresso machines, wood burning ovens, gelato machines and other accessories. He became a pioneer of specialty Italian equipment, introducing Panini grills to the North American market and creating a demand for antique and vintage style meat slicers.
Since then, Emilio has been traveling to different regions in Italy, learning about traditions and making them accessible to the North, Central and South American market.
Truly yours,
Emilio Miti
