About Sandro Vanini
Sandro Vanini SA, based in Rivera in the Ticino region, is a Swiss manufacturer of candied fruit and chestnut specialities. The products, including Marrons glacés, Mostarda di frutta, Mostarda Purée, candied oranges, red figs and cocktail cherries, are made according to the original recipes of grandfather Vittorio Vanini dating back to 1871. The range extends from the sweet to the savoury and also includes ingredients for pâtisserie. In addition to retail trade with end consumers, the company offers B2B services: customised made-to-measure products as well as private-label manufacturing. Around 60 % of production is exported. The assembly and packaging of the Marrons glacés boxes as well as manual series production such as assembly, packaging and bagging of customer material have been carried out for over ten years in cooperation with the Fondazione Diamante in Manno. The company is organised as an SA (public limited company) and is led by Beatrice Fasana.
