A Return to our Heritage
Nearly 100 years ago, Antonio Marano launched Philadelphia Macaroni from the Italian market area of Philadelphia, PA.
Today, with the fourth generation of the Marano family at the helm, the company annually manufactures over 200 million pounds of pasta for the industrial, institutional & retail markets.
In recent years, some of our customers have known us as Conte Luna or Pasta USA. While our facilities, staff, and quality remain the same, we have begun the process of converting all of our locations to our original name - Philadelphia Macaroni.
Thank you for your patience as we update our electronic and printed business communications and improve our websites. |
