The FarPro Group
The Farpro Group represents one of the most significant historical entities in the Italian sector dedicated to the transformation and valorization of by-products.
Our Origins
In the early 1970s, the animal by-product recovery sector was a poorly structured technical field, in which sustainability was not yet a central theme. Sergio Finocchi was among the first to recognize the importance of this process in reducing waste in the agri-food supply chain.
Thus, in 1972, FAR-PRO-MODENA Spa was established, based in Spilamberto, dedicated to processing waste blood for the production of animal meals used in feed and fertilizers.
From this initial core originated an evolution that would lead the group to expand in various directions, always maintaining the same objective: transforming waste into a resource.
Evolution to the Present Day
Industrial Evolution and New Specializations
Over the years, we have expanded our expertise, introducing new technologies and processes that have enabled us to valorize animal by-products in an increasingly efficient manner. The collaboration initiated in the 1990s for the production of plasma and hemoglobin represented an important step for the supply chain, while entry into the pet food and fertilizer sectors further extended our applications.
Innovation, Unification and Group Growth
We are in continuous evolution, through a profound renewal of our historical facility and through the introduction of more modern and high-performance production lines. This journey led us, in 2018, to unify the various activities under the single brand “Gruppo Farpro,” a choice that consolidated our identity and vision.
Since then, growth has not stopped: we have expanded our facilities, modernized our laboratories, and adopted increasingly advanced logistics solutions, supporting the constant development of the entire group.
Growth, Innovation and Specialization
Over the years, we have expanded our technologies, production lines, and internal expertise, integrating new activities and consolidating a supply chain based on quality, safety, and traceability.
Among the main areas of development:
Feed Ingredients
Production of meals, hydrolyzed proteins, and fats for aquaculture, ruminant, poultry, and swine feed.
Pet Food Ingredients
Growing specializations in the processing of fresh and frozen meats and in the production of specific protein components for premium foods.
Organic and Hydrolyzed Fertilizers
Since 2005, the company has been developing protein hydrolysates and organic formulations for the agricultural sector.
Bioenergy
The recovery of materials not usable in food processes enables their transformation into raw materials for biogas and biomethane, contributing to the circular economy and reducing environmental impact.
