Ing. Ferretti

Ing. Ferretti is an Italian startup in the Food and Beverage industry that has been operational since 1973. The company's slogan, "Il futuro della tradizione. Dal 1973 macchine e sistemi automatici brevettati per il settore caseario," reflects its commitment to innovative solutions within traditional sectors. Ing. Ferretti specializes in patented automatic machines and systems for the cheese industry.

Founded by Ing. Renato Ferretti and his father, Sincero, Ing. Ferretti has a rich history of innovation. It introduced the first automatic P.R.A. ING. FERRETTI machine for cleaning and turning cheese forms in 1973. Subsequent developments include the C.S.F. ING.FERRETTI machine for loading and unloading forms and the B.E. ING.FERRETTI, specific elevator belts for the cheese industry.

The company expanded its offerings with the development of scalers for a complete integrated logistics system. In 2012, Ing. Ferretti shifted focus to automation following a severe earthquake in Emilia and Lombardia. This led to a collaboration with ROSSS, a Tuscan company owned by the Bettini Family.

Ing. Ferretti dominates the Italian market in the production areas of Parmigiano Reggiano®, Grana Padano®, and Trentingrana®, holding a market share of over 80% with more than 2500 installed machines. The company also has a presence in various European, Eastern European, US, Brazilian, and Russian markets.

With its most recent €50.00K grant investment received on 01 June 2019, Ing. Ferretti is poised to continue its trajectory of innovation and expansion within the cheese industry. The details of the investors for this investment round are not specified.
