I opened my office in 1993 encouraged by some international contacts I knew and who were willing to buy in Italy but who needed a local contact person to rely on for their business.

Since that moment I started collaborating with companies from all around the world. Over the years I have worked with many Countries such as Greece, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, England, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, United States… and of course Portugal a beautiful Country from which my first client came from.

After 29 years, in 2022, the office changed name from “Italian_buying_office” to “AL-RIC”. It was necessary to adapt to new market innovations and to align with the economic growth prospects of our business.

To give a sense of continuity to this company, the name "AL-RIC" was chosen because it corresponds to the initial of the names of my sons, since, for me, the family is the fulcrum around which to live life.
