La Doria S.p.A.
 PROFILE
You say "tuh-may-toe," and I say "tuh-mah-toe," and La Doria says "cha-ching." The company is a leading Italian processor of tomato-based products (chopped, peeled, strained, and in ready-to-serve sauces). It also makes canned fruit, vegetables, and pasta products; fruit juices; and iced tea. Most of La Doria's products are sold under the private labels of Europe's top grocers, including Tesco and J Sainsbury; it also offers La Doria and other brands. Exports account for more than three-fourths of La Doria's sales. The company has a 51% stake in the UK's Gerber La Doria and a 56% stake in Pomagro, which makes tomato preserves. Founded in 1953 by Diodato Ferraioli, La Doria is 70%-owned by the Ferraioli family.
