Dry Pet Food

On a market where customers increasingly demand products as similar as possible to the ones for humans from a nutritional and production quality point of view and for the variety of formats, our many years of experience in developing food processing technologies allow us to offer futuristic solutions able to set new standards on the market.

Tailor-made philosophy

Dry Pet Food

Our philosophy leads us to work alongside our customers, supporting them in creating and developing innovative products, helping them define the formulations, forms, consistencies, weights, flavors and colors that best satisfy the demands of the final consumer. We share their goal of obtaining an innovative and high-quality industrial production based on collaboration that starts with research and is embodied in the provision of the most advanced processing technologies.

R&D and pilot plant

We feed our success through constant and thoroughly organized Research & Development activities performed by a team of 30 people that includes process technicians, analysts and mechanics. They have at their disposal 2000 sq. m of facilities equipped with a completely new pilot plant capable of developing new products in all respects and a laboratory equipped with all types of instruments for chemical, chemical-physical and rheological analysis and nutritional/organoleptic testing.
