Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Rome, Only Italia provides access to a network of Italian small and medium-sized enterprises and brands. Only Italia aims to promote the development and growth of Italian enterprises in the international market. The Sino-Italy (Yangzhou) Food Industry Park opened in September 2015 and its overall planning area is 1 square kilometer. The industrial park will bring in Italian food, food processing equipment, as well as Italian packaging design, ideas of cultural creativity, training institutions for Western food teaching. With the help of Yangzhou government, Only Italia and 86Links, Italian chocolates, noodles, olive oil and other food products have entered into Yangzhou. On the one hand, Chinse residents can taste fresh and delicious Italian food and this will encourage further development of China's food industry. On the other hand, Italian food companies can have access to the Chinese market and gain more market share. It is without doubt that the equipment manufacturing and processing industry, such as Italian kitchen utensils, coffee machines, and cooking utensils introduced to China can also help the development of Chinese food industrialization. Ultimately, this may create more market opportunities to Italian food enterprises and at the same time, strengthen Yangzhou's food production capability to reach different parts of the world.
