History

It was 1946, when the engineers Nico and Mario Pavan, entrepreneurs with a longstanding family tradition in the pasta manufacturing industry, laid down the founding stone of their pasta machinery engineering company, the Offi-cine Meccaniche Ingg. Nico and Mario Pavan. In the 80’s, with the arrival of a new group of investors, led by Angelo Ferro and Andrea Cavagnis, those first manufacturing plants became a great industrial company, with over 700 em-ployees and prestigious clients throughout the world. But even in such a global entity, all the men and women working for Pavan Group know that their commitment and hardworking enthusiasm keep that first pioneering spirit still alive. They will jointly write the future chapters of this great story to continue to be a point of reference in an ever changing market. A challenge that started at the beginning of the past century, but that still has to see its most exciting issues.

GoLfetto sanGati

It becomes part of the Pavan Group galaxy in February 2010. Golfetto Sangati is the result of the merging between the Golfetto and Sangati Berga brands, that is Italy’s peak companies for the engineering and building of cereal, rice and animal feed milling plants, storage and grain handling terminals in harbours. The brand Golfetto stands out in the history of the milling industry, for its excep-tional know-how acquired in over 80 years of activity, building throughout the world, plants that can go from a capacity of 30 to 1500 tons/day. The company has acquired an undisputed technological know-how in the engineering of both new and already existing plants, in the design of completely automated systems from the storage of the raw materials, to the cleaning, milling and final pack-aging. The Sangati Berga brand, has written some very important pages in the

design and engineering of single machines and complete milling plants, rice mills, animal feed mills, storage silos, and handling terminals for ship loading and unloading. This important merger has integrated the technical, productive and sales structure of the two brands, and today Pavan Group has managed to create the perfect blend between the know-how and the leadership of both companies, forming a great team capable of offering outstanding engineering service, guaranteeing innovative and reliable applications with a wide range of solutions and dedicated services. To this day, we can say that Golfetto Sangati is the only company that can offer a complete service covering the entire manufacturing line from start to finish. In this way, Pavan Group strengthens its na-tional and international leadership, confirming its global player vocation.


Brands

It’s the originating nucleus of the worldwide leading group, as we know it today. Pavan was founded in 1946. The company’s urge of acquiring an ever growing mechanic and manufacturing experience at the service of the food industry field, has always spurred the company to greatly invest in Research & Development, with the only objective of rapidly enhancing its corporate technological asset. A long path that started over 70 years ago, becoming one of world’s leading engineering companies, with a strong managerial spirit, present in all the markets with highly technological products. Within the Group, the Pavan brand is synonym of state of the art machines and manufacturing lines for the production of dry pasta.

The company designs and builds complete turnkey automated manufactur-ing lines, TAS (Thermo-Active System) dryers, auxiliary plant engineering, and production line supervisor services, as well as our remote client ser-vice.Pavan strengthens every year, its leadership position in the food processing field, thanks to its astonishing capability of translating its clients’ needs into real solutions, and thanks to its vertical know-how in the production, tech-nological and service processes, working hand in hand with their clients to create the best machines for their specific type of production.

03 maPimPianti

Mapimpianti was created in the 80’s with the objective of undertaking a sys-tematic experimental, engineering and technological research activity, for the “convenience food” industry: pre-cooked pastas, snacks, breakfast cereals, pre-cooked flours. In those years, these types of foods had a very successful break-in on the market. Consumers were in fact, very glad to find tasty and “traditional” foods in a fast and practical version, easy and quick to prepare.

That’s what the marketplace was calling for. Mapimpianti’s studies allowed to reach the peak of excellence even in this ever developing field. The company became part of Pavan Group in 1990, and today it’s the brand that best ex-presses its vertical competence in the engineering of machines and complete turnkey automated systems for extruded, pre-cooked and toasted products, special forming machines and drying lines.


Brands

Within the strategy of becoming the leading and most complete supplier for the food technology industry, there had to be a company focusing on the pro-duction of fresh pasta. Between 1994 and 1998, Pavan Group welcomes under its umbrella, two historical brands: Toresani, a Milanese company founded in 1904, specialized in the production of fresh pasta, and Foodmac focused on cooling and freezing technologies for the food industry.With its Toresani brand, Pavan Group puts its signature on fresh pasta, conveni-

ence food and frozen food machines and product lines, multi level cookers, and machineries for the thermal and post-packaging treatment, kneader-sheeters, filled pasta forming machines. Consistently with the diversification strategy of its activities implemented with the sales, technological and know-how synergies of the Group, Toresani is today one of the most important elements of Pavan’s quality chain.

montoni

Montoni, today a division of the Pavan Group, is one of the world’s leading manu-facturing companies for dies, extrusion moulds and cutting systems.Founded in 1924, its dies, have shaped the pastas of the world’s leading brands and have given prestige to all the industry. It has always distinguished itself for the extraordinary quality of its mate-rials, the seriousness and the scientific reliability of its approach: peerless in its field of action, it entrusts its product development only to experts in extrusion, drying and packaging technologies. The company has also estab-

lished an intense relationship with pasta manufacturing companies and with Universities, for the development of new and more sophisticated extrusion systems, in line with the newest food industry trends. The merging into Pavan Group has further valorised the company’s work, projecting it into a more and more global context. Today, Montoni continues its path with even greater flexibility, competence and close compliance to the quality standards that have always been the key elements of Pavan Group’s success.

Stiavelli is an historical Italian brand, based in Uzzano, near Pistoia. It is spe-cialized in packaging systems for the food industry.The company was founded in 1962 by Giancarlo Cesare and Mario Stiavelli, and right from its first years it distinguished itself for its high technology, al-ways aligned with the fast growing food industry, which required faster, more efficient, and hygienic packaging systems.

Pavan Group acquired Stiavelli in the last quarter of 2000, embracing the brand within its portfolio, but preserving its engineering and manufacturing independence, and keeping its plant in Uzzano. Here, in the company’s headquarters is also located the R&D department, for the development of new products and advanced technological solutions for the food packaging industry.

Research

Innovation

Innovation is the propelling engine of all our industri-al activities: 25% of our present revenues come from technologies that didn’t exist 10 years ago. Pavan Group develops, integrates and provides complete, full service manufacturing solutions, constantly up-grading their engineering and manufacturing pro-cesses, to increase customer satisfaction, so that technology can become the key element for new business opportunities, guaranteeing fi nal consum-ers only top quality food.

Answers are the essence of Pavan Group’s work.But before, we question ourselves what our leading values should be, so to create technological innovation that’s ethically correct and sustainable for the environment. This is why we believe in research, in an eco-friendly cor-porate conduct, in respecting all our people, in an ethical and transparent behaviour. These are our true company values that guide us in all our deci-sions. This is not a mere declaration of intents, but a real road map, that has been carefully planned and shared by all the employees and transformed into virtuous practices. A common strive towards excellence, each with its own competences. Because excellence is our fi nal target, for which we all work hard, everyday.

Values

The company invests 5% of its revenues in human resources, plants, machineries and research pro-jects for the implementation of new technologies, or the development of already existing ones. Our R&D team, the Pavan School for Food Technologies and its projects in cooperation with important Univer-sities and National Research Institutes, are a real strategic resource and an important support for our clients, in the development of new food products and new manufacturing processes.

Ethics and social responsibility Our clients before everything

An eco-friendly companyGiving value to our people

We are aware that all our activities and all our de-cisions have economic but also social implications. Throughout the world, we adopt a transparent and correct conduct towards all our colleagues, clients and suppliers, respecting people, sharing their so-cial values and fulfi lling all our commitments. This is our behavioural code that allows us to establish sincere, long-lasting and profi table relationships.

Pavan Group operates complying only with eco-friendly standards, identifying any critical aspect and monitoring those that might have any environmen-tal impact. For instance, all our newest plants uti-lize 25% less energy than those built 10 years ago. The sustainability of all our industrial processes are always guaranteed by strict operative protocols, and by the constant involvement of our staff, each for its own competences, at all levels.

Our human capital is our real corporate asset. The company organizes every year many activities, to develop and improve our employees’ potentials, creating a fertile, stimulating and creative profes-sional environment, offering good professional op-portunities for those who deserve them.

Our clients are our point of reference. The alpha and the omega of all our activities. 30% of our proceeds are generated by clients that didn’t even exist 10 years ago, or were serviced by our competitors. Sat-isfying their requests with state of the art technolo-gies, providing only top quality service, is not our only objective. In fact, we believe in helping our clients’ business, by sharing with them our technological and scientifi c innovation, which is our most impor-tant corporate asset.

technoLoGy to feed a GrowinG worLd

Today, Pavan Group plays a role that goes beyond being a worldwide technol-ogy provider. In the last years in fact, the company has decided to help con-trast and prevent poverty, developing new sustainable growth models, mak-ing its widespread knowledge and reputation in the food industry universally available. In particular it has planned a network of the most active subjects, providing them the training and the tools, for instance by granting scholar-ships, for the development of a sustainable food and agricultural industry, in their local countries. To reach this objective, it has established a close cooperation with many foun-dations, institutions, associations and humanitarian non-profit organizations.

Among its many projects we must mention the over 25 year cooperation with some of the most important international foundations: FAO (Food and Ag-riculture Organisation), UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development) and WFP (World Food Pro-gramme).Their joint commitment specifically focuses on implementing projects and feasibility studies for the increase of the nutritional levels and improvement of the quality of life, in Third World countries.

Technology


Quality is a strategic objective that must be pursued to guarantee maximum client satisfaction, and therefore successful business. For this reason, Pavan Group totally complies with the TQM, Total Quality Management, philosophy, a “model of excellence” inspired by universally recognized principles, and com-pletely measurable.Pavan Group has obtained the “Committed to Excellence” certification by EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) in accordance to the ISO 9001:2015 standards. This is the official recognition of the group’s commitment and of the bril-liant results that it has gained, such as the improvement of its organiza-tional efficiency and productive performances, the synergic management

of its corporate processes and a higher specialization of all its human resources.But Pavan Group’s total quality is not limited to its organizational aspects: it also stands for a careful selection of the raw materials, like the stainless steel and special irons used for building the practically indestructible plants, which unceasingly work day and night, 350 days a year for decades.This means assigning a great role to after-sales customer service, ensur-ing all customers a real-time maintenance service, through PLC and remote systems, thus putting a guarantee seal on a long-lasting investment and on the efficiency that has made all Pavan manufacturing systems a real legend within the industry.

Always fighting in first line in the technological challenge that has seen them among the best, right from their very first beginning. Pavan Group nourishes its success through constant and thoroughly organized Research & Devel-opment activities, which can rely on a team of 30 people, between process technicians, analysts and mechanics.They have a 2000 sq. m. area fully equipped with 3 pilot plants and four flex-ible production lines that can analyze the new products under all aspects, and a laboratory furnished with all types of instruments for chemical, chemical-physical, rheological analysis and nutritional and organoleptic tests on food.The Pavan School of Food Technologies is this division’s flagship. This school provides to all its students (technicians, production and quality control man-agers, professionals from all over the world) a theorical and practical training on all issues concerning the world of pasta, and in general on all the food supply/processing chain.

our PeoPLe’s vaLue is our best resource

Our people, with their stories, competences and human qualities, are a pri-mary factor of our Group’s success. For this reason we favour the professional growth of our employees, valorising their talents and cultivating a serene and constructive environment, humanly and professionally stimulating. The com-pany, through its Human Resources department, operates a respectful place-ment policy carefully placing the most qualified profiles, spreading a culture based on performance, carrying a sensible salary policy conforming them to the level of responsibility, developing single competences and encouraging leadership. Following this direction, Pavan Group started out a few years ago a counselling service for its 700 employees, thus opening an important chan-

nel where information and suggestions are exchanged, favouring personal improvement and the fulfilment of common objectives. This is a real cultural turnover, translated into a “Change Management” program, which on one side guarantees the employees a personal valorisation, incentives expressed as benefits and concrete professional opportunities and career advance-ments, but on the other side, it requires a personal commitment, respon-sibility, dialogue and transparency, effectiveness and productiveness, which are constantly monitored and evaluated. For Pavan, each person’s skills can generate trust and customer loyalty, helping the company perform at its best, interpreting their clients’ needs, while offering them only valuable solutions.

we embrace the environmentaL cause, everyday

Pavan Group pays great attention to all environmental issues, perfectly com-plying to all the local environmental rules, of each country where it operates. Our environmental management system applies to many fields, trying to re-duce the waste of resources, reduce energy and water consumption and of any other element that might have a direct impact on the eco-system.Energy, methane and water consumption are carefully monitored, and all this attention has translated itself into a dramatic cut down of wastes throughout the years.We operate to prevent pollution and minimize the environmental risks con-

nected to our industrial activities and to the raw materials utilized (steel, aluminium, copper, bronze, brass, metallic and wooden packaging), making forecasts and continuously monitoring the critical parameters, so as to acti-vate specific procedures for a correct handling and waste disposal.The manufacturing plant is not the only one involved in this process, even the offices contribute to the cause, for instance by economizing on paper and printing all advertising and sales materials exclusively on FSC certified paper, the brand that identifies products that use timber and timber derived prod-ucts coming from socially and environmentally responsible forests.

desiGninG our future toGether

What types of food will we be eating in the future? Scientists describe an open scenario, where to the food that we regularly consume nowadays, we will prefer new ones, more suitable from a nutritional point of view, and that will better interpret the demographic, economic, life style and biological changes.Perhaps this revolution is not that close yet, but it’s certainly getting closer. The most innovative companies are getting ready to live as protagonists this future, and among these we will certainly fi nd Pavan Group. With its R&D team, the company stands close to its clients sustaining them in the creation and development of new products, helping them defi ne the

shape, the consistency, the weight, the taste and the colours that better will meet the consumer’s favour, and creating for them the technologies and the manufacturing plants for a top quality large-scale industrial production, generating the best possible profi t. All this, starting from the fl our milling to the fi nal packaging that the products will wear to exhibit themselves on the stores’ shelves. This was, is and will be the Group’s driving force: to be a technological part-ner with a great attraction towards the most exciting challenges, the ones that still have to be imagined.
