Background
Still having our own gelato shop in Italy, after 20 years of activity, continuous daily direct experience as gelato producer, and consequent immediate consumers feedback, represents our experience, enabling us to manage our own Italian Gelato shop with excellent results and great satisfaction. While keeping in with tradition, following the old recipes developed by our family, we have attended several courses to maintain our knowledge and skills always updated.
Amazing Thailand has always been for us the better place to relax ourselves after a hard year of work, until we got the opportunity to prove our experience even in this beautiful country.
It happened in 2001, simply answering the consulting requests of a local producer. It started just like a pleasure to a friend, up to 2004 when it became a real new opportunity of business.
It was a period of friendly collaboration and advising, until the start-up of an Italian Gelato laboratory, for the production and wholesale of Italian home-made gelato and ice cream, today a real factory. At the same time the research of a better quality of ingredients became a real need. Despite the general standstill due to the Tsunami in 2004, in which we were directly involved, we have received a positive feedback from market and consumers.
Thanks to the highly positive guest’s feedback, the real Gelato consumers, the most famous deluxe hotels have become our main customers. In November 2005 we also had the honour to serve HRH Princess Soamsawali on the opening of the Y.W.C.A. International Bazaar in Bangkok. Although the difficulties this challenge entails, the results so far obtained leaved us optimistic about the future of the Italian Gelato in Thailand. However, after the natural disaster the company assets and people involved have been forced to adequate plans and objectives at the new difficult situation, creating the condition for the LucaMari Co Ltd adventure launched in 2006. Nowadays we still have Gelato shop in Italy, getting benefits to share this direct experience with our clients in the Thai Market, offering the best opportunities for the development and profitability of Gelato businesses. And of course we support and supply the same Gelato factory together several other Gelato producers in Thailand.
