Lactalis to invest 4.6 million in Sicily over next two years
Lactalis Italia, the leading agri-food company in Italy in terms of presence and territorial coverage, is strengthening its strategic role in Sicily, where it has two production plants in Catania and Ragusa, by planning to invest 4.6 million euros on the island for the years 2024-2025.
The information emerged from a study conducted by The European House – Ambrosetti and presented at the Palazzo della Cultura in the city of Catania. The Catania plant, founded in 1954, became part of Parmalat in 2000 after the acquisition of the company Latte Sole Spa and produces approximately 77,000 tons of product each year, mostly UHT milk, but also cream. The Ragusa plant, founded in 1991 and acquired by Parmalat in 2000, specializes in the production of dairy products such as mozzarella, ricotta, and scamorza, processing around 6,000 tons of product annually.
In Sicily, Lactalis has 226 direct employees, representing 4.2% of the group’s total workforce in Italy, and direct employment in the region has increased by 3.7% in the last three years.
“In an increasingly unstable economic context,” stated Giovanni Pomella, CEO of the group in Italy, “Lactalis continues to commit to supporting the growth of local production chains. Our goal is to invest responsibly in Sicily, creating value for the territory and the community where our plants are located. We are determined to strengthen collaboration with local producers, promoting innovation and sustainability throughout the production chain. We aim to be a reliable partner for Sicilian businesses and families, contributing to the creation of opportunities for inclusive and sustainable economic development.”
