About Us:
Delivering Certainty in Complex Environments
Founded in 2014, Rapanelli International SPA’s Procurement Division brings over a decade of expertise in procurement, trading, and technical support for international development projects. We specialise in the supply of agricultural machinery, infrastructure equipment, and technical solutions, working alongside leading bilateral and multilateral institutions, including the United Nations (FAO, UNDP), CIHEAM, and various governmental cooperation agencies.
Our Mission
Our mission is to simplify complex international procurement, particularly in challenging and politically unstable regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, and West Africa. By combining deep technical expertise with robust logistics and compliance management, we empower governments, NGOs, and development agencies to deliver critical infrastructure, agricultural development, and humanitarian projects efficiently and reliably.
We are proud to act as a trusted partner for organisations seeking transparent, high quality, and value for money procurement solutions, with a proven track record in markets such as Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and emerging regions in West Africa.
Our Team and Experience
At the heart of Rapanelli Procurement is a dedicated team of professionals with a unique blend of expertise across procurement, engineering, logistics, compliance, and international cooperation.
Our leadership team, led by Massimiliano Rapanelli, leverages decades of hands-on experience in technical procurement, project logistics in complex regions, and international tender management. Our procurement specialists, technical advisors, and logistics coordinators work in close synergy to deliver seamless project execution from bidding to final delivery and after sales support.
Key strengths of our team include:
- Deep knowledge of international procurement rules and compliance (FAO, World Bank, EU PRAG standards).
- Specialised technical assistance in agricultural and infrastructure equipment.
- Strong logistical capabilities, including handling complex shipping, customs, and last-mile delivery in challenging environments.
- Multilingual communication abilities (English, French, Arabic, Spanish) to operate efficiently across diverse regions.
- A client first culture focused on reliability, flexibility, and long-term partnerships.
Thanks to our cross-sectoral experience and international network, we consistently achieve one of the highest tender success rates in our sector, with more than €4.5 million in annual procurement revenues and continued expansion into strategic markets.
