"In Kenya to showcase innovative avocado oil extraction technologies"

Amenduni Nicola Spa, an avocado oil company based in Apulia, Italy, will attend the fifth Avocado Africa Conference, which is scheduled from 27 to 30 May at the Sarit Centre in Nairobi, Kenya.

Amenduni is part of the Valbruna Group, one of the world's largest specialty stainless steel producers. Amenduni is also recognized globally as a machine manufacturer that supports customers in designing optimal oil extraction solutions for unrefined and extra virgin oils.

Avocado Africa 2025 is the world's largest gathering of avocado industry professionals from the African continent. Designed to stimulate trade, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing, it is a platform that brings together industry leaders, experts, and professionals. Participants can engage in highly specialized matchmaking through the Avo-Match platform and learn about innovative production models that develop more sustainable and profitable crops.

Amenduni has always been a proponent of the growth and development of the value creation process in the avocado supply chain on a global scale, with a particular emphasis on Africa. Amenduni has a large customer base in leading avocado oil-producing countries, including Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and the Dominican Republic. The company boasts 20 years of experience in avocado oil extraction.

"We've been part of Avocado Africa since its first edition in 2021, at the height of the pandemic," said Aldo Pesce, the company's export sales manager. "This event showcases our strong dedication to the East African market and, more broadly, to the entire African continent. Riccardo Stillavati, the company's technical sales engineer, will also be present this year."

Amenduni already has over 30 customers processing avocado oil in East Africa and is a reference partner for some of the industry's largest companies and groups. The company's strength lies in its post-sales service, which includes local technical support and readily available spare parts.

"Since 1905, Amenduni has been committed to optimal performance in the extraction of edible oils. Thanks to our location in Apulia, the heart of olive oil production, we are heavily involved in the olive sector. Without a doubt, most of the avocado oil extracted worldwide today is produced with machines designed and built by us."
