History

Luciano Rabboni, President and Founder of PreGel SpA

The History of Pregel began in 1967 at Scandiano, when Luciano Rabboni, the founder, with his wife Ms Elena Frigeri started a small business for the artisanal production of fruit based products, intended for local gelato and pastry shops.

In over forty years of business PreGel has helped develop the sector of artisanal gelato with ever new successful flavours such as Yoggi, the first and most famous Yogurt product, the first concentrated fruit pastes, Fruttuosa to prevent fruit gelato from stiffening, the first Tiramisù paste in 1985, the famous PreGel Zabaione, the first Stracciatella gelato launched in 1971 and many more.

The continuous innovation leads to superior conceptual novelties such as the Wellness Gelato Family, a range of low-calorie products enriched with fibre, or the "La Via dei Gusti" project, an exciting “way” of refined combinations among the most fascinating traditional flavours of the company.
 

Today, PreGel is one of the most important industrial realities on the Global panorama in the business of  gelato and pastry products and it is an important point of reference for continuous research and innovation.

PreGel has a worldwide presence with three production plants (Italy and USA), ten branches (Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Switzerland, U.S.A., Benelux) and PreGel’s products are distributed in more than 100 countries in the world, through a large network of importers and distributors.
 

The headquarters at Gavasseto (Reggio Emilia), built in 1982, contain a Research & Development departement, a quality control departement and an independent production unit and it is currently considered as a model of advanced technology all over the world. 

Quality standards are just one of the features of PreGel products. In actual fact, the artisan choosing PreGel products can get several benefits:
 

o easy-to-use products
o saving-time products
o products that arise the gelato makers' creativity

o products that assure constant quality results

Since far off 1967 many things have changed, but PreGel’s philosophy has remained unchanged over time: supplying high quality artisan products and, thanks to its qualified technicians, supporting and advising confectioners and gelato makers in gelato and confectionery productions at the best level, taking customers and business to a certain success.
