Buying Better Together
Our history
Widoo is the brainchild of two managers, Antonio Falchi, ex-CEO of Eurofoil, and Gabriel Catania, founder of GC Partner.
On the strength of their experience, they realized that VSEs, SMEs and ETIs were at a purchasing disadvantage compared to large groups.
So they decided to create the first collaborative purchasing group, made up of around fifty independent companies wishing to pool their non-strategic purchases.
In view of its success, decided to offer this innovative concept to all independent SMEs.
