Pompi is a family company founded in Rome 60 years ago when the founder Giuliano Pompi opened a small dairy on Albalonga street, in the historic heart of Rome. The Pompi place was initially pretty small but its homemade ice creams were realy appreciated. In fact, Giuliano had attended the handcraft gelato school and he used to manufacture ice cream by hand, a special technique. In the sixties and seventies, Giuliano has been working with passion and zeal to turn the small dairy Pompi into a reference point for those who were looking for high quality products.
Pompi's Tiramisu
In the eighties, Giuliano, being supported by his ambition and his family, decided to add new pastry goods by creating his own personal tiramisù recipe, well known dessert in the world: the Tiramisù Pompi. Despite being appreciated, the tiramisù was not so common until that moment. Giuliano, instead, gave to classic tiramisù dessert a new leafe of life thanks to a powerful mix of natural raw materials and a good dose of creativity. The customers appreciated Giuliano’s tiramisù recipe and Pompi became “the king of tiramisu” within a few years: today the Tiramisu Pompi is also a “tourist attraction” for those who visit the Eternal City.
The Company
After the Giuliano’s death in 1997, his heirs decided to carry on the business with the precise intent to expand it as far as possible, opening up a new era for the brand thanks to a positive general economic trend and the modern needs of customers. The company also decided to register the trademark to defend it granting the legal protection. In 2007 a first transformation occurred by expanding and renewing the original place and building a new laboratory to manufacture different types of pastry goods to better respond to a growing market. The company further committed investments to increase the number of sales points and to optimize the production capacity by inaugurating in 2014 a new plant in Albano where the production is on industrialised scale but the production process is still handicraft.
Today the Pompi production plant based in Albano supplies the Italian and Asian stores thanks to this important factors: the growing demand for Pompi products and the ability of the artisan Italian gelato chain to generate wealth. In 2015 the turnover generated has exceeded 2 billion euros in Italy and, as for example, the European Parliament has granted the Italian artisan gelato a protected product, strong encouraging the traders and their suppliers to invest in maintaining one of the driving symbols in the Made in Italy.
