A hamberger inside a soft bun : this is the most common McDonald’s image, the Americain style fast food leader that in 50 years built an empire of 28.000 restaurants in 120 countries, with a turnover of almost 100.000 billion Lira. Soft ice cream and milk shake have always been part of the typical McDonald’s menu. After half a century of monopoly held by the biggest American producer of ice cream and shake machines, Carpigiani obtained in 1999 from McDonald’s International the title of supplier for the combined ice cream and shake machine for Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland.

In a little more than 2 years Carpigiani has become the major supplier to McDonald’s in Europe with a presence in 18 country.
