The production structure: innovation and technology
For 60 years Inalca has continued to innovate the meat industry, with constant investments in infrastructure, technologies, R&D, systematically improving production processes and products.
All plants, specialised by product lines, use advanced production technologies and safety systems that allow the company to be at the forefront of control methodologies, supply chain programs and meat identification and labelling processes.
Inalca controls the entire production chain to guarantee the traceability of each single cut and with the aim of enhancing all the processing phases and ensuring efficiency, safety and constant quality standards of the highest level.
The control of all phases, together with the implementation of the most modern technologies, has allowed the company to improve production efficiency and to obtain tangible results also in terms of environmental sustainability.
In order to make production more circular and valorise every part of the bovine, Inalca produces a wide range of by-products: plasma protein and haemoglobin, flour and fat, which the company processes in fully automated systems and on specific production lines.

Integrated beef chain
For years Inalca has been involved in building its own bovine supply chain and has promoted a series of strategic investments in farms and agreements with the main national zootechnical organisations aimed at valorising and protecting breeding in Italy.
The Inalca supply chain is integrated because the company controls every single step, and it is sustainable, because thanks to a cutting-edge system the impacts of the products on the environment are measured with the aim of reducing their effects.
Today Inalca is the largest Italian bovine breeder, with a capacity of 180,000 heads reared on its own farms, directly or in agistment.
Also in Poland, the company controls a company active in cattle breeding and now has about 20,000 cattle raised in the country.
