Pizzoli SpA, Italy: From strategic choice to operational automation in frozen foods

The choice of the site for developing the logistics center confirms the dedication that Pizzoli has always had for the territory where the company was born and grew: instead of starting from a “green meadow” and building in a rural area, the Emilian company decided to recover an abandoned industrial area, specifically the 180,000 square meters of a former sugar factory in San Pietro in Casale (BO).

A choice of social and environmental responsibility that aligns with the attention Pizzoli has always paid to sustainability. In 2010, it also invested in the construction of a biomass plant for the production of renewable energy from biogas, entirely fueled by potato processing waste. The warehouse represented the first significant investment within a profound review process; a project that looked to the future, with a strong focus on innovation and eco-sustainability.
