Randi Group worldwide: from 1968 to today, the international growth of the group
From a small local business to an international group. It was 1968 when our founder, Giovanni Randi, began to give new value to grape by-products, becoming year after year a reference point in the tartaric industry, standing out for the use of 100% natural processes and a strong focus on customer relationships and respect.
Since then, over 50 years have passed. The small company has become the Randi Group, a solid international reality with offices in Italy, Australia, Spain, the United States, and Argentina, confirming the group’s international vocation and the constant tension towards growth and presence in international markets. Randi Group now has six production centers and over 150 employees.

Giovanni Randi S.p.a. and Villapana S.p.a are located in Faenza, Italy, and are the main sites of the group for the production and commercialization of tartaric acid, cream of tartar, ethanol, and grape seed oil. In recent years, Villapana has also specialized in the production of enopellets and products for cosmetics and cooking aimed directly at private customers.
Australian Tartaric Products: the Australian production hub
Australian Tartaric Products (ATP) was founded in 1991 by Giovanni Randi. ATP’s production plant is located in Colignan, near Mildura, in the state of Victoria, Australia, and specializes in the production of tartaric acid and its salts. Thanks to its experience, the company has gained a leading role in the production and trade of natural tartaric acid in Australia. Here, the company also produces ethanol for food use, focusing exclusively on the production of natural products. Thanks to its attention to quality and sustainable production, ATP has become a reference point in the tartaric acid, its derivatives, and ethanol production sector in Australia. Its production of natural tartaric acid, mainly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, is appreciated for its purity and its ability to improve the quality of the products to which it is added.
