In 1989 Giuseppe, a thirty-eight year old father of four sons, left the agricultural village in the Neapolitan hinterland where he was born and moved with his family to the province of Milan. Giuseppe and Giuseppina, Antonio, Luigi and Luca, Adriano: the family initials become the acronym that from then on will give the name to the family business, Gala Fruit. Thanks to the experience gained in years of buying and selling in the fruit and vegetable sector, Gala begins to operate successfully in the Fruit and Vegetable Market of Milan, specializing in the distribution of asparagus, strawberries and porcini mushrooms, items that at all today they represent some of the company's top seeds. 1994 saw the entry into the company of Giuseppe's son, Antonio, the eldest. Two other brothers follow closely in 1997: Luigi goes to implement the sales force and Luca introduces a new product category, that of cheeses and typical products. The new resources allow the GALA to expand its portfolio of fruit and vegetable articles, both national and imported. In 2008 Giuseppe passed away, prematurely, at the age of 57 I quattro fratelli Catalano in una foto dei primi anni ’80. Lungi dall’abbandonare a se stessa l’azienda di famiglia, Antonio, Luigi e Luca si prendono in carico tutta la gamma di prodotti in cura al padre e danno nuovo impulso all’azienda, ampliando ulteriormente il proprio giro d’affari anche grazie all’ingresso in azienda del fratello più giovane, Adriano. Nel 2012, dopo quasi un ventennio di attività da intermediari senza fissa dimora, in cui hanno lavorato da “appoggiati” presso altri posteggianti del mercato di Milano, si insediano nel Padiglione D, aprendo uno stand a marchio G.A.L.A e mettendo insieme una squadra vincente di collaboratori ed impiegati ed una rete di fornitori importanti e affezionati. Questo è solo l’inzio di una storia di successo. I prossimi capitoli li potete trovare qui, in aggiornamento costante. Lascia un commento Your email address will not be published.
