Ar.pa Lieviti and Molino Gaspari: co-manufacturing agreement innovates home baking preparations

Ar.pa Lieviti, a company from Ozzano Emilia with over 50 years of experience in the production and marketing of yeasts and preparations for sweet and savoury products, and Molino Gaspari, a long-established artisan milling business specialising in flour production and based in the Modena area, have signed a strategic co-manufacturing and co-branding agreement.

The objectives

The agreement is aimed at the joint production and development of new product lines dedicated to the world of home baking preparations. The agreement stems from the desire to integrate know-how, production capabilities and market vision, strengthening the presence of both companies in the yeast, flour and baking preparation sectors.

The entire brand integration project and the definition of the identity of the new product lines were overseen by Pragmatika, a Bologna-based integrated communications company, which guided the two businesses through a process of positioning and enhancing the partnership, developing visual identity, naming and packaging design to build a coherent and recognisable identity.

With a 2025 balance sheet showing an increase compared with 2024, Ar.pa Lieviti confirms its position as a solid, innovation-oriented industrial company in Italy’s baking supply chain. Molino Gaspari, meanwhile, drawing on strong local roots and a milling tradition passed down through five generations, continues to pursue artisan production that highlights local raw materials. The company closed 2025 with growing turnover, results that confirm a competitive structure capable of supporting joint development projects.

The comments

“Our collaboration with Molino Gaspari represents a natural step in our growth journey,” comments Carla Gherardi, president of Ar.pa Lieviti. “Bringing our expertise together allows us to accelerate the development of innovative products while consolidating our presence in the home baking market.”

“We are proud to launch this partnership,” says Ilde Rebecchi, sole director of Molino Gaspari. “An agreement that brings integrated production expertise together and opens up new industrial and commercial opportunities, strengthening our ability to innovate while respecting a tradition that has accompanied us for five generations.”
