February 2012  

 

Greetings!

 


New Factory. . . More of the Same Great Products

 

It's been quite an exhilarating couple of months at Satin Fine Foods.  We have been getting settled in our new production facility and world headquarters, just up the road from our previous location.  With triple the space, we are positioned to meet the exploding demand for Satin Ice from our customers the world over.  

 

I enjoyed a warm welcome in Italy recently.  I met up with our friend, Michelle Bommarito, as we  visited the annual Sigep show in Rimini.  Meeting with our new product endorsers, Maurice and Flavia of Italian Cupcakes, as well as some of our Italian distributors has given me new insight.
