So tell our audience who you are and what does Trust what's inside represent?
Lapi gelatin is an historical Italian manufacturer of gelatin and collagen peptide from bovine height and fish skin.
We belong from the Lapi Group, that is a family owned company that is in its 3rd generation.
All our products meet the highest standard European quality certification, and we export more to 52 countries.
And a key strength of our company is the Phoenix.

Regarding your question regarding the claim, what's inside for us is the expression of the commitment to the transparency to our customers starting from the raw materials is the finished product that we produce.
And all of this is the foundation of our technical and commercial approach.
OK, thank you Giuseppe.
So from my side I represent Yuncai Gelatins.
Junca is a Spanish company, also historical traditional, gelatin manufacturer of Europe.
In this case we are located in Spain.
Since 2021, the company has been a part of Lay Group, so we are here exhibiting today a sister company of Lapi Gattin.
In our case, the company was founded in 1947, so more than 75 years of experience in the market.
And the main characteristic now as as Giuseppe said, we are producing from pigskin origin after this acquisition we are only producing from pigskin origin and being located in Spain, which is the largest country in Europe in terms of pork production, this provides us a competitive advantage that we like to share with our with our partners.
In terms of the claim, Giuseppe explained it very , but going to one step further, we try to build this cooperation with our partners of trust.
Trust for me is the key word in our claim, so we look for business partners.
We do not look only for customers.
We want to go.
More than this, cooperation, so, we look for this kind of trust that obviously we work hard to get it and to, to deliver, OK.
And, how would you say your brand values have been translated into the stand design.
Regarding each area of our stand to reflect all our values, sustainability, innovation, quality in which we have.
In line with all.
Characteristic of our brochure that you realized this year and all the space that you can see make these values tangible.
OK, I obviously agree with Giuseppe, and I, I would add that it's a very open stand.
It's one of the values that we try to share with our business partners, this openness, this transparency, a very open stand, and with very strong and clear messages to, to share our priorities with customers.
OK, it's business partners.
So can you tell us why transparency is so crucial today?
Because it's an important thing because all the customers are looking for transparency in order to have more clarity in terms of the origin of the product, in terms of the process that you that you use it to realize the finished product and also.
It's also more important, the safety regarding the product and all of that and help to create a long-term relationship with our customers.
Exactly, obviously that is the point.
For us we consider it's a decisive purchasing factor nowadays.
Obviously customers have many options in the market, so we like to be very close to our business partners.
We try to be very transparent and very open with them, and I think this helps us to deliver what they are looking for.
OK, what would you say is the shared vision between your two companies?
To continue to invest in the string to ensure the higher standard quality with our product to our customers in order to continue to help our customers to increase their quality products.
Yes, I think since the, the acquisition, of course we have worked hand in hand with with LPI Gelatin.
We found a lot of synergies in, in the business of course we come from different origins, but at the end of the day we have found many opportunities to to grow together but it's true that I think the main shared value is this high quality product that we are supplying to our customers for our business partners.
And this mentality of looking for more than a simple operation, so a cooperation.
OK.
And that's the final question.
What is your main goal at Europe this year?
The main goal of this event is to present our brand evolution and to permit us to reinforce the collaboration with all our customers.
Exactly, we're here today because food ingredients, it's a very good opportunity for us to meet with our partners and of course to look for new opportunities to deliver our new message and and hopefully yes, of course make new contacts and keep growing together.
