Artisan tradition
and innovative spirit.

Ancient knowledge is enriched with technological innovation and research for sustainable production. These are the key elements of our entrepreneurial effort aimed at offering always certified quality products.

Artisan Tradition Meets Innovation

We combine ancient craftsmanship with modern technology and research to ensure sustainable production. This fusion is at the heart of our commitment to providing products that consistently meet the highest standards of certified quality.

Our Story

Our journey began with the rich artisan tradition of our local area, focused on producing nougat and almond paste — two cherished Calabrian specialties, recognized under the quality brand “Spe.cal” (Calabrian Specialties).

In the 1990s, under the leadership of Sebastiano Polimeni, the company expanded its reach to large retailers, redefining the concept of product seasonality to meet the evolving needs of families and a dynamic market. In 2003, we launched our first almond milk, now part of the “Mand’Or” line, marking the beginning of our commitment to producing almond-based products while staying true to our core values.Over time, Policom has grown to become a leader in the development of almond-based products. Since 2014, with the second generation of the Polimeni family joining the company, we’ve expanded our offerings organically, seizing new opportunities in the international market.

Towards a sustainable future

A diet healthy for us and safe for the planet

We have always put consumer health and respect for the environment first.

For this reason, we carefully choose raw materials, respecting the natural growing cycles. Moreover, recent international studies have shown how the plant-based market is not just a “trend” but represents a decisive turning point in the sustainable management of resources.

Therefore, as we believe in a healthy diet based on environmental sustainability, we created an integrated and controlled production chain, from the selection of raw materials to production and packaging.

Responsible use of energy resources

Thanks to our photovoltaic system, we produce electricity from the sun, thus reducing our energy consumption from the national electricity grid. Besides benefiting from the sun, we also reduce the environmental impact of our energy consumption. In addition, our interior and exterior spaces are illuminated exclusively with LED technology.

We have also installed a rainwater collection system that allows us to manage the green spaces around the company premises, eliminating water waste and guaranteeing water availability in case of drought. The water we use in our production processes is purified through an innovative treatment called “ultrafiltration.”

The purchase of electric vehicles for the management of local supplies is operative since 2024 by installing on-site charging systems, also powered by solar panels.

Packaging renewable up to 90%

Our aseptic packaging is renewable, mainly being composed of materials from renewable sources.

The certified quality

Producing high quality products is not just about applying our know-how by using high quality ingredients or raw materials. It also means knowing how to operate along the supply chain with knowledge, respect and attention to suppliers, customers and products. This is why our company has a clear understanding of what certified quality means: to be internationally recognised to the highest standards, not just for the importance of having a formal ‘title’, but for the benefits it brings in terms of growth, knowledge and sustainability along the supply chain, and for the protection of the end consumer.

Product certifications relate to the control of the supply chain, origins and food safety. BIO certification confirms the use of organic production principles, without the use of synthetic chemicals (fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, pesticides), as well as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Company certifications (IFS and BRC) determine all company and stakeholder processes. Religious certifications (Kosher for Jewish markets and HALAL for Muslim markets) determine compliance with certain product characteristics.
