ALMOST A HUNDRED YEARS
OF FLOUR MILLING ART
The expertise of Molino di Pordenone has been established over almost one hundred years of activity. A long history which begun in 1923, when the "Spa Società di Macinazione" was founded.
In the early 1950s, the Zuzzi family took over the "Società" and started a new company, thanks to the noticeable experience of the family founder Valentino Zuzzi, who had first worked at the "Molino Stucky" in Venice and then at the Swiss company Buhler, that it is still nowadays a prestigious producer of milling plants. The red brick building, housing Molino di Pordenone and directly connected to the Pordenone railway, is a perfectly preserved example of the industrial archaeology heritage of the first postwar period. Today, it contains a cutting-edge technological core: one of the most advanced completely automated milling plant in Europe. Over just a few years, under the son Giampaolo Zuzzi, the plant underwent constant developments and improvements, reaching in 1995 a production capacity of 3,000 quintals of milled corn per day (against 200 q per day milled in the '50s).
Today, the brothers Marco and Valentino Zuzzi represent the third family generation and both run Molino di Pordenone with the same formula and passion that have always allowed the company to be competitive over the years: constant investments in technologies to improve the product quality standard and a widespread selection of suppliers to guarantee a high quality standard in raw material in a increasingly complex marketplace, featured by the various variables of the food sector.
