In 1976, Giancarlo Polenghi had the intuition to produce and market lemon juice in plastic and glass packaging, with the aim of bringing the authentic taste of lemon into homes.
\nThus, the first facility was born in Colturano, where the juice was made with selected citrus fruits from the Conca d’Oro in Palermo.
\nIn just a few years, the product conquered the Italian market began to gain recognition in Europe.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

During the 1980s, Polenghi expanded, reaching the markets of the United States and the Middle East.
\nIn 1983, the company moved to San Rocco al Porto, where production was expanded.
\nIn the late 1980s, Polenghi diversified its offerings, starting the production of condiments and flavored oils. In 1990, the company consolidated its presence in Europe.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
