ABOUT US

FROM CRAFTSMANSHIP TO BRAND

German family business with Italian roots:

Pasta has been a lifelong passion for the Giacobbe pizza-baking family for generations. Born in Italy and later emigrating to Bitburg, the brothers Litterio and Rocco crafted their first lasagnas in the 1980s in Bitburg, Eifel, carefully by hand and following traditional recipes.

Historische Aufnahme der Giacobbe-Familie bei der Pastaherstellung

In 1993, a craft-based project became a company: Rainer Nels, the German brother-in-law of the Giacobbe brothers, founded Giacobbe Pasta GmbH, laying the foundation for what our company is today. Alongside his passion for pasta, he brought a strong enthusiasm for technology, efficiency, and innovation – a combination that continues to shape our success story to this day.

In 1997, the company relocated to its current location on Daimlerstraße in Bitburg. Since then, production has steadily expanded, the product range has grown, and processes have been modernized—all with a clear focus on quality, reliability, and progress.

At the end of 2023, after more than 30 years of active management, Rainer Nels passed the leadership to Jakob Hübinger, who has been part of the company for many years and understands our philosophy as well as our customers’ needs. With his experience and a clear vision for continuous growth and sustainability, he now leads Giacobbe Pasta GmbH into the future.
