HISTORY WITH FLAVOR
Ventolini is a Colombian company with more than six decades of experience in food production. Born as a traditional ice cream shop, it grew through homemade recipes, innovation, and constant transformation to become a multi-category company that integrates ice cream, pastries, ready-to-eat meals, bakery, snacks, and beverages.
We operate in a production plant in Cali, Colombia with more than 16,000 square meters dedicated to food manufacturing. From the Valle del Cauca, we develop products tailored to large retail chains, our own brand, Ventolini, and private-label clients.
As a capital–socialist company, we believe in teamwork and in well-being as the engine of everything we do. We place people at the center: our family, our collaborators, and those who build this project every day.
Ventolini’s value lies in the combination of history, innovation, emotional closeness, industrial capacity, and commercial versatility.
We operate a facility of over 16.000mts housing state-of-the-art specialized food production technology.
We are located in Cali, capital of the Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
A strategic región due to its industrial, logistics, and supply chain dynamism, with proximity to the Buenaventura port. This facilitates access to international markets and strengthens our distribution and export capacity.

HOW DO WE OPERATE?
Our organizational model is the VENTOLINI SOLAR SYSTEM
Ventolini operates under a solar system structure, a model in which the client is at the center of the organization. The different areas work in an integrated and aligned manner, orbiting around this core, aiming to optimize processes, strengthen decision-making, and ensure sustainable results.
Just as planets maintain constant rotation and translation around the sun, each Ventolini area evolves dynamically in response to the client. Continuous internal improvement and constant adaptation allow us to remain agile, synchronized, and focused on customer needs, expectations, and environmental changes.
Areas that orbit the client:
From concept to final product:
the areas that make each development possible
Innovation & Development
THE ENGINE OF VENTOLINI’S FLAVOR: A UNION OF CREATIVE MINDS, PRECISE PALATES, AND SKILLED HANDS.
Ventolini’s Innovation and Development area is the driving force behind the creation of new business opportunities and the company’s sustainable growth. This team originates the ideas for new flavors that bring to life the products developed in the four production plants (Beverages, Ready Meals, Pastries, and Ice Cream), integrating market vision, technical expertise, and industrial capacity.
Its scope encompasses the design, development, and structuring of portfolios across multiple categories: pastries, ice cream, beverages, and ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food solutions. Each initiative is built upon an in-depth analysis of consumer trends, customer needs, and production feasibility, enabling the transformation of concepts into competitive products ready for scaling.
The Innovation and Development team leads the entire process, from formulation and costing to technical validation and industrial standardization. This comprehensive approach ensures efficiency, control, and consistency in every development, facilitating its adaptation to different brands, markets, and distribution channels. For contract manufacturing clients, this translates into customized solutions, optimized timelines, and strategic support throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Thanks to its coordinated work with the quality control, production, and sales departments, Innovation and Development ensures that each product meets high standards of food safety, operational performance, and profitability. This synergy allows Ventolini to offer not only production capacity but also added value in knowledge, innovation, and execution.
With a vision focused on the future of food, Ventolini is establishing itself as a strategic partner for investors and brands seeking to develop reliable, innovative products aligned with market trends, backed by a solid structure and high-level industrial operations. Furthermore, the Innovation and Development area acts as a bridge between commercial vision and industrial execution, anticipating market trends and proposing solutions that provide differentiation and real value.
Through a structured yet flexible methodology, the team supports brands in making key decisions, ensuring that each product not only meets technical requirements but also has a clear positioning and the potential for sustainable growth over time.
Quality Control DeparTment
THE PILLAR SUPPORTING EVERY VENTOLINI PRODUCT
Quality control at Ventolini is not just a support area—it is a strategic axis across the entire organization. It ensures food safety from raw materials to the final product delivered to the consumer.
The department manages risks through continuous monitoring, improvement programs, laboratory analysis, audits, and compliance with national and international regulations, including HACCP. Through technical audits and operational controls, the team identifies opportunities for improvement, minimizing risks and ensuring business continuity and customer satisfaction.
Microbiological Laboratory
SCIENCE SUPPORTING FOOD SAFETY
The microbiology laboratory plays a strategic role within the organization, serving as a key tool for ensuring the safety, control, and reliability of the products manufactured in our production plants.
This laboratory receives and analyzes samples from each batch of ice cream, beverages, prepared foods, and pastry products developed at the plant. Through these analyses, strains, bacteria, and the behavior of microorganisms are monitored, enabling continuous process evaluation and evidence-based decision-making.
Having an in-house microbiology laboratory represents a significant added value for Ventolini’s customers. This capability allows for timely monitoring of producto safety, reduced response times, strengthened traceability, and ensures that every product development meets the quality and safety standards required by regulations and the market.
The laboratory’s work is closely coordinated with the Quality Control, Production, and Innovation and Development departments, supporting both continuous manufacturing and the validation of new products. This integration ensures that every formulation and every process has microbiological controls that minimize risks and strengthen confidence in the final product.
For contract manufacturing clients and partner brands, Ventolini’s microbiology laboratory represents an additional guarantee of food safety. It is a technical support that underpins the development of their products.
Design Area
DESIGN, PACKAGING AND BRAND CREATION FOR THE CLIENT
Ventolini’s Design department plays a strategic role in building and bringing to life brands that resonate with the market. From this creative space, packaging design solutions, visual identity, and brand guidelines are developed, either based on concepts proposed by the client or through comprehensive support that begins with the initial idea and culminates in the final product.
At Ventolini, design is understood as a strategic asset that enhances differentiation, improves the consumer experience, and strengthens product positioning at the point of sale. This creative support allows clients to optimize timelines, reduce risks, and launch brands with a clear, consistent, and competitive proposition. Thanks to this combination of creativity, technical expertise, and market vision, Ventolini offers its partners a key advantage: products that not only meet high standards of quality and innovation but also communicate, connect, and create brand recall.
Commercial Management
THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE CLIENT, OPERATIONS, AND THE BRAND
Our Sales department is much more than a sales channel: it’s the meeting point between the company’s strategy and our customers’ real-world experience. From daily operations to personalized service, this team is responsible for nurturing, representing, and embodying our brand in every external interaction.
One of its key functions is comprehensive customer management, understood not only as order processing but also as ongoing support. Every request is handled with sound judgment, clarity, and commitment, ensuring timely responses, accurate information, and solutions aligned with each partner’s needs.
The Sales team plays a key role in safeguarding our clients’ brands. Respecting guidelines, understanding their business, and protecting their reputation is a shared responsibility that we approach with seriousness and strategic thinking. Every product delivered, every negotiation, and every response reflects who we are and how we care for the brands that trust us.
Together, the Sales team is a vital cog that connects people, processes, and purpose. Its daily work ensures that the company’s value proposition isn’t just words, but is lived out in every delivery, every relationship, and every experience.
