EDE International and CDU – Growing Together

End of 2025, representatives of EDE International had the pleasure of meeting with their long-standing Italian partner, CDU (Consorzio Distributori Utensili), in Bologna. The meeting reflected decades of close collaboration and was marked by open dialogue, shared ideas, and a strong spirit of partnership.

The agenda covered a wide range of topics – from current market trends and shared private label strategies to forward-looking projects and strategic developments. Beyond the facts and figures, the event highlighted the mutual trust and deep understanding that have grown over many years of cooperation.

We would like to thank the CDU representatives for the warm hospitality and the inspiring exchange:

Matteo Montanari, Lughese Utensileria e Macchine s.r.l.
Fabio Pahor, FerroJulia s.r.l.
Fabrizio Foi, Centro Distribuzione Utensili S.p.A.
Marco Mattanza, Consorzio Distributori Utensili

“We truly value the personal exchange and the close, long-standing relationship with CDU,” says Annegret Franzen, CEO of EDE International. “Meetings like these are not only about strategy and planning – they’re about strengthening the human connections that make real partnership possible. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration and shaping the future together.”
