An environmental friendly company

Respect for the environment
from process to product

With its 50 years of experience, Pastificio Gaetarelli is a modern enterprise both for its organisation and (mostly) its production standards. Corporate ethics regards products, production processes and environmental protection as equally essential, and believes that they all require excellence. Plants and equipment are all state-of-the-art and specifically designed for Gaetarelli. Important investments have been made in machinery to ensure the environmental sustainability of production.

The production process includes thermal treatment to ensure that residual bacteria in the products are reduced to the minimum admissible. The plant heat loss is limited to very small surfaces and the different treatment zones is calibrated with high accuracy; this allows to achieve an energy saving greater than 30% and a drastic reduction of CO2 emissions. The plants are constructed in eco-compatible materials. From process to product, in either case utmost attention is paid to the environment: recyclable packaging materials, short supply chain and no artificial colours, preservatives, chemical additives or hydrogenated oils. All this is driven by the corporate values that place people and their commitment to excellence in production at the centre of the business.
In 2012 Pastificio Gaetarelli signed an agreement on renewable energy.
