Our history
“For over 50 years we continue to innovate the meat industry, with constant investments in infrastructure, technology, research and development, systematically improving the production processes and products.
In this new scenario, our efforts focused on the creation of a beef industry increasingly integrated and sustainable, particularly attentive to the social, environmental protection and to the demands of the agricultural world. Today, more than ever, we are well aware that these issues are entered directly into the value chain, and are competitive levers necessary for sustainable development of the company.
We are also convinced that the company’s success will depend on its ability to combine economic targets, ensuring growth and employment, with a strong link to the territory in which the company implements its activities.”

It also boasted a state-of-the-art hamburger production department with a weekly capacity of 40 tons. Among the chains served was Burghy, a highly successful Italian fast-food brand owned by the Cremonini Group.

With a total area of 377,000 m2 (60,000 of which are covered) and a slaughtering capacity of approximately 6,000 head of cattle per week, the INALCA Spa plant in Ospedaletto features technologically advanced production lines, thus guaranteeing excellent quality standards in full compliance with the rigorous hygiene and sanitary standards of the European Union.

At the time of the plant inauguration, an agreement was also announced with the Russian authorities for the development of livestock farming in that country.
