Olearia Clemente is a family-owned olive oil producer rooted in the sun-drenched region of Puglia, Italy. With over 130 years and five generations of passion behind their brand, Olearia Clemente has become the largest company in the Italian olive oil supply chain, producing exceptional oils renowned for their flavor, quality, and authenticity.

From organic oils cultivated in the Gargano National Park to certified Dauno Gargano D.O.P. and flavored olive oils, their portfolio reflects both a reverence for the land and a forward-looking business model. In a market where presentation matters just as much as taste, the company knows that packaging—especially labeling—plays a pivotal role in delivering a premium experience.

That’s why, since 1997, Olearia Clemente has entrusted P.E. Labellers, a ProMach product brand, with this critical step in their production process.

Labeling as a Competitive Advantage

Operating out of Manfredonia in the Gargano region, Olearia Clemente distributes olive oil globally in various formats. From glass to PET to tin containers, and in sizes ranging from 250 ml to 1 liter, they manage a complex and diverse labeling operation that must deliver precision and consistency every time.

To support this complexity, the company has invested in five P.E. Labellers Modular SL machines, designed to handle high-speed applications and multiple label formats without compromising quality. With some containers receiving up to five separate labels, the demand for flexibility is high, and P.E. Labellers easily meets it.

“Given the wide range of very different formats, the labeling phase is crucial and labels must be perfect,” said Antonello Clemente, Head of Production at Olearia Clemente. “Since 1997, we have relied on P.E. Labellers, whose machines—now five—consistently deliver precision and reliability, even when applying up to five different labels.”

What’s Inside the Labeling Line?

Each of the Modular SL machines used at Olearia Clemente is customized for the olive oil producer’s specific needs. The key features of these systems include:

• Five adhesive labeling stations on fixed platforms
• Front and back labeling with uninterrupted production
• PE Vision centering system for exact label positioning
• Integrated inspection systems for label presence and quality control
• Format flexibility ranging from 250 ml to 1 liter containers

This configuration supports various label applications, from traditional front and back labels to neck seals and more complex wrap-around designs. The vision system ensures not just accurate placement but consistency in label quality across thousands of units per day.

ProMach and the Liquid Foods Industry: Built for Complexity

Olearia Clemente’s long-term partnership with P.E. Labellers is a perfect example of how ProMach supports the liquid food industry. Whether you’re bottling olive oil, sauces, dressings, or beverages, labeling is one of the most visible—and technically demanding—parts of the packaging process.

For companies with a wide range of SKUs or highly specific branding requirements, ProMach product brands like P.E. Labellers offer modular platforms that can grow and adapt alongside production needs. The ability to apply different labels with precision, accommodate container changes, and integrate inspection systems—all within one machine—streamlines the entire production line.

This commitment to modular, future-ready technology is part of ProMach’s broader focus on building high-efficiency packaging systems for the liquid food sector. With solutions that span processing, filling, labeling, capping, and end-of-line packaging, ProMach brings unmatched integration expertise to every part of the line.

A Partnership Built to Last

For Olearia Clemente, labeling is not an afterthought—it’s an essential component of brand identity. With five Modular SL units supporting their operations, the company ensures every bottle that leaves their facility is labeled with the same care and quality that goes into the oil inside.

Their nearly 30-year relationship with P.E. Labellers isn’t just a supplier agreement—it’s a strategic alliance built on trust, innovation, and shared values. As the olive oil market continues to expand, both in premium exports and value-added products, that partnership will remain a key differentiator.

From orchard to shelf, Olearia Clemente’s commitment to quality is evident in every bottle—and thanks to P.E. Labellers, every label reflects that same level of excellence.
