From September 2019 the well-known Montoni brand, manufacturer of dies, extrusion molds and cutting systems, will continue its operations within the “Dies & Moulds Business Line” under the umbrella brand of Pavan. In 1989, the Pavan Group acquired Montoni based on their already strong partnership and given that dies represent a strategically important segment for the pasta industry. Following the acquisition of the Pavan Group by the world's leading technology group GEA in November 2017, the Pavan sub-brands will now be gradually integrated into GEA's brand architecture.
