Generale Conserve was founded in 1989 and produced goods in Portugal until 2006 when majority stake was acquired by Vito Gulli. In 2010, production was moved back to Italy (reshoring) despite labor costs being 4 times higher in Italy. The investment cost 25 million euros to reshore. Reasons for reshoring included increasing brand value by being "Made in Italy", steady annual revenue and employee increases, rising consumer awareness of real Made in Italy goods, and preventing loss of tuna processing expertise.
