In 1844, Antoine Chiron established his mill at Chambery (Savoy).This region belonged at that time to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. In 1860, The Duchy of Savoy was ceded to France. Linking France and Italy, the Alps are the birthplace of a true pasta tradition.
Since becoming ALPINA Savoie, we enlarged our know-how as well as we kept developing our experience and technologies to remain at the state-of-the-art of our field.
