Ferrarini announces new plant to support growth and expansion. The Emilian company has signed a preliminary agreement for thepurchase of land in Masone, in the municipality of Reggio Emilia, where a new large production plant will be built. This new plant, which will be built in the area of the former AIA complex as part of a major urban regeneration project, will be dedicated to the production of cooked ham and other cured meats.
The new plant will strengthen the integration of the supply chain Ferrarini, operating in synergy with other plants of the Group, including the Pini Italia slaughterhouses in Castelverde (CR) and Ghinzelli in Viadana (MN).
The total surface area of Masone is 180.000 m², with a potential of 50.000 covered square meters, and will be the fulcrum of the company's development. Ferrarini, which joined the Pini Group about a year ago, has already seen considerable momentum in its national and international consolidation. Among the successes of 2024 are the registration in the special register of "Historical brands of national interest" of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, the modernization of the Lesignano de' Bagni plant for energy efficiency, and the launch of new products such as Pavo - Whole roast turkey breast and Bellafetta - Ham salami.
This growth is also reflected in the economic results: in 2023, Ferrarini recorded a turnover of 150 million euros and a 15% increase in exports compared to the previous year. In the first months of 2024, the company continued to grow with a 15% increase in turnover and 8% in volumes%.
“It is with great satisfaction that we announce today a very important milestone for the company, which certifies the solidity of the long-term vision of a renewed Ferrarini, with broad growth horizons and great ambitions,” declared Roberto Pini, President of Ferrarini. “With the purchase of the new plant, the development plan designated when joining the Pini Group is proceeding at full speed, which has already seen all commitments fulfilled: financial support, reaching maximum production capacity in the Lesignano de' Bagni plant and the development of new products, for which there will be further news in the coming months. Today's announcement marks another fundamental step, which launches Ferrarini into a solid and integrated supply chain project to play an increasingly important role at a national and international level as an excellence and symbol of Made in Italy”.
