Water, courage, and the art of entrepreneurship<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the beginnings with Galvanina to the new challenges of Tinnea and Sibilla: a story of vision and roots that inspires the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of Rimini, the Mini family represents a virtuous example of Italian entrepreneurship, capable of combining tradition and innovation. Rino Mini, the central figure in this story, has transformed every challenge into opportunity, building a unique entrepreneurial journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1975, Rino joined the family business, Galvanina, a name already rooted in the history of mineral water bottling, dating back to Roman times. Under his leadership, Galvanina became a world leader in the organic beverage sector, exported to over 50 countries. Collaborations with figures such as Milton Glaser and Garrett Oliver gave the products their uniqueness, transforming them into "liquid works of art" that showcase Italian excellence through design and quality. After the untimely death of his father, Rino Mini took over the company and led its expansion, growing its turnover from \u20ac1 million in 1985 to over \u20ac80 million in 2018. In 1987, he began exporting Italian water and beverages to the United States, educating the market about their quality and naturalness and becoming the most important and exclusive beverage supplier to major retail chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2012 he was awarded the title of Knight of Labor of the Italian Republic and in 2019 he sold Galvanina to an American private equity fund, maintaining the role of Honorary President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the success of Galvanina, Mini also developed high-impact projects. He transformed a spa park into the "Bandiera Gialla," Europe's largest dance club and entertainment complex. He founded "Il Pomod'Oro," an excellent agritourism business renowned for its cuisine and frequented by international stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 1990s, he launched the "HOPS!" microbrewery chain and acquired the Amarcord brewery, creating high-quality beers in collaboration with prestigious artists and breweries. In 2007, he acquired the Val di Meti company, contributing to the economic revival of Apecchio, a jewel of a village in the Upper Marche region. In 2019, he completed the renovation of "Fonte Sacramora," expanding production to one billion units per year and consolidating his leadership in the organic beverage sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In January 2023, Rino Mini embarked on a new challenge with his son Alessandro, founding Tinny Srl after acquiring the springs of the oligomineral waters "Tinnea" and "Sibilla." Located in the Sibillini Mountains National Park, these springs, thanks to significant investments and renovations, guarantee billions of liters of pure, uncontaminated water. The production facilities, renovated with cutting-edge technologies, include five highly energy-efficient lines to meet the needs of domestic and international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rino Mini personally designed the shape of the glass and plastic bottles to make them attractive and durable, drawing on the experience of the Murano Glass Experimental Station. The prototypes were developed by the master glassmakers and engineers of the OI Company of Toledo, Ohio, for the glass and by industrial designers for the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tinny Srl also stands out for its strong commitment to sustainability: photovoltaic panels and low-head turbines will be installed to generate green hydroelectric power, harnessing excess spring water without disrupting the river ecosystem. A reforestation project will be launched with native trees, including oak, fir, maple, and hazel. Furthermore, hot air balloons will be purchased to allow flights over the Monti Sibillini National Park without disturbing the local wildlife, offering a unique experience to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now everything is ready for a new international challenge: Sibilla, SiB\u00ec, and Tinny products will soon reach the world's most prestigious restaurants, hotels, and American bars, representing the perfect combination of quality, innovation, and respect for the environment. This business model enhances cultural and natural heritage, innovating without compromise and creating new economic opportunities. Each Rino Mini project demonstrates a vision that unites culture, sustainability, and social well-being, breathing new life into businesses and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
