Beef products company Inalca, a subsidiary of the Cremonini group, presented its stand in the Cibus è Italia pavilion at Milan Expo on Thursday under the banner 'producing more consuming less'.
"We are one of only a few companies to control the entire production chain, which is integrated and sustainable," said group external relations manager Claudia Cremonini.
"Technologies are used at every stage to produce better, more and using fewer resources, with the valorisation of production waste," she continued. Inalca posted 2014 revenue of 1.49 billion euros, of which 50% was generated abroad.
It has a total of 11 production plants – 6 in Italy, 2 in Russia, 2 in Angola and 1 in Algeria – and 21 distribution platforms across Russia and Africa. "We have realised that we must not only export to these countries but also manage distribution with greater integration with local production," Inalca CEO Luigi Scordamaglia said.
At its Italy plants Inalca meets over 70% of its own energy needs through industrial cogeneration and the transformation of waste into biogas.
