About
CIRFOOD

Strong Roots to Feed the future

The origins of the company go back to the late 1950s when the first inter-company canteen was set up in Reggio Emilia, serving meals to workers from the city’s companies. But it was in 1992 that, from the union of three historic cooperatives of Emilia-Romagna active since the 1970s in collective catering, came to life what is now CIRFOOD. The growth has been continuous and today CIRFOOD is among the leaders of collective catering in Italy.

In January 2017, CIRFOOD took over the family business Cormet Enjoy the Good Life BV. At that time, Cormet had already been active as a caterer within the educational locations for over 25 years. In short: Strong roots to Feed the Future.

CIRFOOD: Composed of the Italian abbreviation 'CIR' (Cooperativa Italiana di Ristorazione) and the English word 'food'. 

Partnership

We take responsibility for a sustainable future and surprise people with the miraculous Mediterranean diet. The cooperation we enter into with our clients is more than a contract. Much more. Our customers and their guests can count on our passion. The energy to serve delicious sustainable food and to offer our hospitality. Of course you can expect our high professionalism. But we become extra happy when the boundaries of formality fade and we sit down at the table together.

DISTRICT

Innovation is in our DNA. On 22 October, 2022, our parent company in Italy inaugurated the 'CIRFOOD DISTRICT'.  A center dedicated to research and experimentation for innovation in the field of nutrition and food services, in which we seek collaboration with the government, companies, start-ups, research institutions, producers and education. Taste the future is the philosophy that underpins all activities and areas of the building. This is a space dedicated to sharing and spreading a cultural and social perspective on the future of food, based on the principles of sustainability and accessibility. Both in Italy and in the Netherlands, we are closely connected to education with which we share knowledge back and forth in order to improve the increasing the positive impact on the ecology and incorporating it into our food concepts.
