The Co.pe.Mo. is a cooperative founded in 1973 by a group of twenty small-scale fishermen from Ancona, who still form the basis and active part of the cooperative.
Created to protect the mussels fished by its members from a qualitative, sanitary and commercial point of view, the activity has evolved by including other species to be treated and sold, such as clams and changeable nassa, becoming a reference point for all Italian fisheries cooperation.
Currently Copemo provides for the sale of shellfish collected by its members and purchased partly from the catch of dredgers and some small fishing operators, and partly imported from abroad, providing its customers with high quality products and an efficient and accurate service.
Copemo’s main activity is the marketing of shellfish harvested by its members, in particular clams, mussels and changeable nassa.
