De Matteis Agroalimentare - The Pasta factory, The Mill, Our History and Values, enrivonmental Policy
Like a small number of Italian pasta factories, De Matteis follows a wheat-pasta integrated production cycle.
Having a mill on our premises allows us to have total control over the raw material and so the quality of the product.
At our quality control laboratory inside the mill we select the best wheat and make sure it meets our strict standards of quality. This is how good and quality pasta is produced.
The Mill is the heart of our Factory
De Matteis Agroalimentare was founded in 1993 by two entrepreneurial families operating the Construction business for more than 50 years.
The commitment and dedication of the families lead what was initially just a mill with a small pasta factory to become one of the main world player in the pasta sector, with a growth rate still unmatched in the field.
Our pasta is expression of an integrated system between Industry and Agricultural sector on the basis of shared values and principles.
We invest in projects that create value in the production and protect the equilibrium between man and nature.
We have a honest tie with the world of agriculture and its farmers, traditions and expertise.
We work to create genuine products that come from places we know.
“Reaching leading positions at home and abroad, modernising what quality foods are all about, demonstrating values of genuineness and fairness expected from the farming sector".
Increasing commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Reduction of CO2 emissions
By decreasing durum wheat imports
Reduction of plastics in packaging
By using innovative materials following the example set by Grano Armando.
Reduction of pollutants and greenhouse gases
By building a co-generation plant capable of generating over 80% of the energy required for running the mill and pasta factory.
Some figures on our co-generation plant operating since 2013.
1.865 t of CO2 prevented, a saving of 1.941 equivalent tonne of petrol, 33.000 MWh of heat recovered.
