LONDON — Andriani S.p.A. Benefit Corporation, a food manufacturer, announced that it will officially open its first North American production facility in London, Ontario, on October 22, 2025. This reported CAD $55 million investment will create employment opportunities for the local community and represents the company’s international expansion in North America.

Andriani’s international growth is also supported by the entry of NUO, an Italian investment company that, since 2022, has tried to reportedly strengthen the Group’s industrial base and strategic vision, accelerating its expansion.

With the establishment of a direct industrial presence in North America, Andriani is strengthening its international growth trajectory with the goal of becoming a key point of reference for the North American industry and retailers. The 61,225 square-foot Canadian plant will also reportedly enable the Group to engage directly with consumers through the local production of Felicia-branded pasta.

“The opening of our first production facility in North America is not just a business milestone, but a crucial step in our journey as a Benefit Corporation,” says Michele Andriani, President and CEO of Andriani S.p.A Benefit Corporation. “Here in London, Ontario, we found the ideal environment to root our values and advance our global vision. This facility is the result of shared trust and collective passion, made possible by all those who believed in our project. At the heart of this achievement are institutions, partners, clients, and collaborators, to whom I extend my deepest gratitude. This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter in our story, one that celebrates the international ambition of the Italian supply chain as a driving force in the food transition, the transformative power of food innovation, and the cultural bridges we continue to build. This new facility allows us to bring our mission to life in North America, generating positive impact through responsible innovation that promotes health, sustainability, and well-being.”

“This new production facility is not only an investment in Ontario, but a symbol of the deep roots and global vision that connect our province to the world. It represents jobs, growth, and opportunity for families here at home, while strengthening the international partnerships that drive innovation and progress,” says Rob Flack, MPP for Elgin-Middlesex-London. “I congratulate Andriani on this milestone and look forward to seeing the positive impact this facility will have on our community and economy.”
