SINCE 1923
The history of the Brundu family has been closely linked to the production of high-quality semolina for four generations. It all began in 1923 when Andrea Brundu, a skilled mechanic, decided to build an innovative mill in Nule, a village that had no electricity. His mill, powered by an internal combustion engine and a steam boiler, revolutionised semolina production in the area, offering an excellent product in a shorter time.
Andrea Brundu‘s ingenuity did not stop there. In fact, he used the mill’s dynamo to generate the electricity needed to illuminate not only his workshop but also the entire village. This was the first sign of the great innovative spirit that still characterises the Brundu family today.
Sebastiano, Andrea’s son, carried on the family’s innovative legacy with his unique experience as a mechanical engineer and flying gunner. It was he, who convinced the family to invest in the revolutionary roller mills, which, by offering high-quality technological performance, surpassed traditional milling techniques.
From that moment on, Brundu‘s brand leadership was greatly strengthened. The family built five state-of-the-art technological plants, consolidating their position as pioneers in the field of grain milling. This breakthrough is an important milestone in the history of the Brundu family and underlines their commitment to innovation and excellence.

Since then, with the introduction of new varieties of durum wheat seeds in the production of flour and semolina, the Brundu Family experienced that one of the secrets to being in tune with the market was to keep up with the times and, preferably, to anticipate them.
The Brundu family, always attentive to innovation, both in terms of product and process, have gone on over the years to build in Torralba one of the most modern factories with state-of-the-art machinery that is in step with the times in the production of semolina and then also pasta.
A Heart that beats for Wheat
For four generations, the Brundu family has combined tradition and innovation to create high quality products. Thanks to the adoption of advanced technologies, the company has expanded its product range to include different types of semolina. Despite their roots in tradition, the Brundu family has always looked to the future with optimism, investing and renewing to develop products (flours, semolina and pasta) that are increasingly in line with consumer needs. Our story is an example of how love for wheat and passion for innovation can give rise to high quality products.
“Our pasta is a concentrate of passion and wisdom, the result of an artisan process that does not allow shortcuts“.
