CLAUDIO TORGHELE
Co-Founder
Claudio Torghele is the co-founder of Let’s Pizza™ and is heading Cibo Labs s.r.l operations out of Bolzano, Italy. Cibo Labs s.r.l is a 100% subsidiary of Yay Food Technologies Ltd focused on sales and distribution of Let’s Pizza™ machines in Europe and North America, developing the supply chain of ingredients from Italy, as well as working with innovative companies for R&D of future versions of the Let’s Pizza™ system.
In the 1990’s, Claudio gained experience in the American food industry by acquiring a small Los Angeles based fresh pasta factory named “Pasta Fresca Co.” The growing market trend of Mediterranean food at that time led Claudio’s pasta business to expand rapidly by merging with competitors. At the turn of the millennium “Pasta Fresca Co.” reached nationwide distribution and Claudio sold the business to a Nasdaq listed company.
He then decided to invest his time and money in the development of a prototype of an automatic machine for the production of fresh pizza, giving birth to the concept of Let’s Pizza™.
