Meridiana Canada Inc. was born in 1996. The main goal Adriano Costella had in mind was to offer customers high end services in terms of repairs, design and sales of pasta machinery.

Native of Italy, Adriano has more than twenty years of experience in industrial machinery maintenance. His expertise encompasses five years as representative in North America for the Italian company IMA. Conscious of customer needs, Adriano decided to start his own company in 1996.

In 2001 he added the much needed know how of Hugues Fournier, a talented technician whose main task is the design and programming of automated systems.
