19 — Landucci

Infinite pasta shapes

Pistoia, Toscana

https://www.landucci.it/

For Italians the multiplication of pasta shapes is not only a food tradition but one of the foundations of its material culture. Landucci can boast nearly a hundred years of experience in the production of pasta extruders: an experience that evolved in the passage from the completely hand-made to industrialised production processes. Thanks to a constant dialogue with the makers of production lines and pasta makers, Landucci can offer an infinite variety of pasta shapes in a repertoire developed in the course of almost a century. Founded in 1925 by Sestilio Landucci, it is still a family business, now into its fourth generation and operating on a globalised market.

The extruder die is the mainstay on which the industrial processing of pasta rests: an unexpectedly sophisticated device made by just few factories in the world, four of which are in Italy.
