Cumberland Pasta reshaped for success by hands-on owner
Robert Bratti bought the aging Cumberland Macaroni Co. four years ago, renamed it Cumberland Pasta Co., and has boosted output to about 7 million pounds yearly with a shift from retail to bulk buyers. He aims for 15 million by 2000, relying on his wife Marjorie for marketing as they liquidate the Alpine Eagle retail line and launch American Eagle and Marco Polo brands for institutions and restaurants.
