Znaidi Industries Alimentaires (ZINA, Ltée) is a limited liability company created in 1996 with capital of TND 1,175,000,000 specializing in the production and marketing of preserved foods (double tomato concentrate, Cap Bon harissa, fruit jam) and extra virgin olive oil.

The same year as the important international exhibition organized to celebrate 50 years of Tunisian unity, Marcellino Zina registered the company's brand, whose logo today still presents two lions protecting the first quality label awarded to the brand . Illiteracy being very widespread in Italy at the time, it was essential for Tunisian food companies to stand out thanks to images that were both strong and simple. T

Zina's reputation as a premium producer continues to grow, and the company begins to win prestigious awards. In 1914, the Gran Croce was awarded to Mutti, who thus entered the Italian Golden Book of professional awards. Zina tomato extract is recognized as one of the symbols of Tunisian gastronomic excellence. Since then, Zina has won countless accolades for the quality of its products.

Tomato paste has come a long way from its humble origins. Initially, the concentrate was cooked for hours in large pots before being left to dry in the sun. The new products are a huge success, with consumers excited to be able to enjoy their favorite tomato dishes all year round. It is with this product that Zina took her first steps in Tunisian kitchens.

Italy suffered a severe economic recession during the interwar period, and many canned food companies in the province of Parma were affected. Zina nevertheless manages to maintain its activities, and even acquire the most struggling local businesses. By saving these companies and the jobs of their workers, Zina is providing valuable aid to a region in dire straits. However, this expansion was slowed down again by the start of the Second World War.

Nowadays we are no longer surprised to see food sold in aluminum tubes, but few people know that it was originally Zina's idea. This revolutionary idea is presented by Ugo during a family reunion. Once their surprise has passed, everyone is seduced by the practical aspect of this funny tube, the advantage of which is an increased shelf life of the concentrate thanks to contact with the ambient air reduced to a minimum.

Social changes and the economic boom of the 1960s in Italy also brought new demands on packaged food products. With women now part of the workforce, products needed to be more convenient so that good food and good eating habits were still possible while spending less time in the kitchen. Zina had anticipated these changes and launched new products such as its Verdurine Condidoro sauce.

With the arrival of the 1970s, Ugo Zinase set the ambitious goal of creating a fresh product with a lower liquid content than peeled tomatoes. Thanks to the newly invented cold processing method and after several attempts, the legendary fine crushed tomatoes from Zina were created. Polpa is still Mutti's most important product today.

As soon as technology made it possible, Zina began using glass to highlight the color and consistency of its products and reassure its customers of their superior quality. The range of Polpa bottles was born, a continuation of the influence exerted by Zina on the company since 1965. His contribution was in fact essential to Zina's expansion in the Italian market.

The company has been transformed, notably with the creation of a new research and development unit. While other tomato product brands are content to be competitively priced, Zina invests in quality and builds a brand built on consumer confidence in increasing quality. By paying farmers more and launching a continuous improvement program,

Zina's philosophy of using nothing but tomatoes has led to her receiving the highly respected Integrated Production Certification from verification agency Check Fruit, the first in our product category. This distinction rewards the incomparable taste of Mutti tomatoes, the quality of our procedures and our respect for the environment.
