Based in Scafati, Italy, and founded by Antonio Romano in 1972, La Regina has been a key partner of _Rao’s Homemade_ since 1993 and produces all _Rao's Homemade_ tomato-based sauces today. La Regina also operates a facility in the U.S. in Alma, Georgia. “Our investment in La Regina and partnership with the Romano family reinforces our commitment to preserving the artisanal craftsmanship of Rao’s sauces,” said Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Consumer loyalty and ongoing household penetration expansion are born from what makes the brand special: exceptional taste, quality ingredients, and a restaurant‑quality experience at home. We could not be more excited about the momentum on the Rao’s brand and the opportunities ahead.” The investment builds on Campbell’s 2024 acquisition of Sovos Brands and marks a new milestone for _Rao’s Homemade_, which recently surpassed $1 billion in trailing 12-month net sales, making it the fourth billion-dollar brand in Campbell’s portfolio alongside _Campbell’s_, _Goldfish_ and _Pepperidge Farm_.
