The project
A concrete commitment to the local area
“The spark that ignited my passion for this cause came from a summer trip to the picturesque Salento region in Puglia, which revealed a painful side of local life. As I traveled through the streets of this wonderful region, I noticed how Xylella had inflicted considerable damage on the olive trees, helping to erase part of the identity that makes Puglia unique. Upon my return, driven by the desire to do my part to help restore this agricultural community, I decided to launch a personal project. As president of the national network “È Ora,” I felt the urgency to protect our country, and I found in Olivami the ideal vehicle to translate this commitment into concrete action. The idea of supporting Apulian olive growers arose spontaneously, fueled by the desire to help these small businesses overcome the difficulties they are facing as they strive to recover from the devastating events linked to Xylella. While browsing the Olivami website, I seized the opportunity to demonstrate, both personally and on behalf of my company, our solidarity with those who are fighting with determination to rebuild. In this context, I decided to make an olive grove available, entrusting it with confidence to my customers and colleagues. The hope is that this initiative will become a vehicle for word-of-mouth, a catalyst that stimulates the revival and replanting of these precious trees. Every step we take together will help preserve and promote the beauty of Puglia, restoring the vitality of its lands and the dignity of its local farming communities. I am grateful to be able to share this experience and to join Olivami in their noble goal of cultivating hope and regeneration.”
Storytelling
The story of the project
Founded on October 28, 1988, in Monteprandone, in the Marche region, Eurocedibe Srl has transformed vending into a personalized and innovative service. The brand’s main goal is to improve the daily experience of every employee at its client companies.
The company has experienced significant growth since its inception, leading it to serve the entire regions of Marche, Abruzzo, and Romagna by 2018.
But the growth didn't stop there, because in 2020, CEO Gianpietro Vallorani launched a new project, È Ora, a network of independent companies in the vending machine industry that offers its services throughout Italy.
This project began to take shape as early as 2021, when—in addition to officially expanding coverage to all Italian regions—the first national customers began to sign up.
Another significant step was taken in 2022 when Eurocedibe became a benefit corporation, fully embracing the principles of sustainability and commitment to the local community and the environment.
Eurocedibe’s distinctive features include direct contact with management, allowing client companies to report any issues directly. The company is at the forefront of innovation, introducing telemetry in vending machines and implementing a direct-contact app for users.
The service offered by Eurocedibe is highly customized, allowing companies to create bespoke break areas featuring their corporate colors and logo. In addition, the company promotes an employee-wellness approach through employee perks, including free coffee on holidays and birthdays, as well as special discounts on coffee for home use.
The company builds genuine relationships with its corporate clients through dedicated representatives, who analyze satisfaction levels and adapt to consumer preferences.
In summary, Eurocedibe Srl stands out in the industry not only for the quality of its vending services but also for its commitment to innovation, customization, and sustainability, embodying its mission to improve its customers’ day.
