2. Coelsanus Company profile
Coelsanus ( the name comes from Latin, taken from the coat of arms of the village of
Sossano near Vicenza and means ‘clear and peaceful sky’) was founded in 1955
and specializes in the production of preserved vegetables.
The quest for innovation, while remaining true to the Italian preserving tradition has
led Coelsanus to develop new ranges with unique organoleptic characteristics.
The pleasure of the taste experience begins with the freshest of vegetables.
That is why every care is taken in the selection of ingredients of the highest quality,
where possible using fresh vegetables in season, carefully selected from a supply
network whose prime concern is quality.
Coelsanus contracts with local producers for preferential supplies of fresh
vegetables, locally produced, using traditional methods. Growers are urged to
maintain strict standards of production with a view to obtaining a high and consistent
quality.
Once the vegetables reach the factory they are subjected to further quality checks to
ensure they meet the required standard and to guarantee product safety and
hygiene. (These checks use the HACCP auto-control system)
All parts of the company are involved in and responsible for their part of the quality
manual which controls both the production and management processes, resulting in
better, safer products and eating pleasure.
