Granarolo (company)
Granarolo S.p.A. is a food company in Italy founded in 1957 and based in Bologna. It operates in the dairy sector (milk, yoghurt, desserts, fresh cream and long-life cream, fresh and hard cheeses, and milk-based baby food) and vegetable foods.
In 1957, the Bologna Consortium of Milk Producers (CBPL) was founded in Granarolo dell’Emilia (BO), with the aim of producing, processing and marketing milk, and it took the name "Granarolo" as its trademark for marketing its milk.
In 1972, the Felsinea Latte Cooperative joined the consortium, giving rise to the Consorzio Emiliano-Romagnolo Produttori Latte (CERPL) which was immediately joined by the Cooperativa Latte Estense of Ferrara, the Cooperativa Produttori Latte of Forlì, the Cooperativa of Ravenna and the Cooperativa of Rimini.
During the 1980s, the Cooperativa Latte Estense of Ferrara and the Cooperativa Produttori Latte of Forlì left the consortium, while at the same time, CERPL was joined by the Consorzio Granterre of Modena, and Daunia Natura of Foggia, Sogecla of Anzio, and the Cooperativa Latte Verbano of Novara (the latter went bankrupt in 1992) were acquired.
Under the guidance of Luciano Sita, who was appointed president in 1991, in 1992, the Group launched the Granarolo Felsinea S.p.A. Company and acquired Dilat S.p.A. in Soliera. The acquisitions during the 1990s involved the following companies: Latte San Giorgio of Locate di Triulzi (MI) in 1994, Interpack S.r.l. of Gualtieri (Reggio Emilia), Fiore S.r.l. of Udine, Sail S.p.A. of Bari (operating in Puglia under the 'Perla' brand) and Latte Cerulli of Teramo. In 1998 the cooperative that controlled the Granarolo Felsinea S.p.A. took the name Granlatte and the next year, Granarolo Felsinea changed its name to Granarolo S.p.A..
In 2000, Granarolo completed further acquisitions: Centrale del Latte of Milano, Vogliazzi Specialità Gastronomiche of Vercelli, Centrale del Latte of Viterbo "Alto Lazio", half the capital in Centrale del Latte di Calabria S.p.A. and Latte Bianchi in Mogliano Veneto (Treviso).
Also, in 2004 it acquired the Yomo Group to save it from bankruptcy, including the brands Yomo, Torre in Pietra (excluding milk), Mandriot, Pettinicchio and Merlo brands, and the factories in Pasturago (Yomo), Sermoneta (Pettinicchio) and Acqui Terme (Merlo). The former Yomo Group also included the CSL - Centro Sperimentale del Latte [Milk Experimentation Centre], tasked with producing probiotics for alimentary and pharmaceutical use (sold to the Sacco Group in 2013). During 2006 the historical Centrale del Latte plant in Milan closed, because it was not included in the acquisition. Its production was transferred to what was previously the Yomo plant in Pasturago.
In 2008, the Group was reorganised, which lead to the closure of the subsidiary Agriok S.p.A. (which operated in the supply chain traceability sector), and the gastronomic branch of the company (Vogliazzi) was sold off, as was the Sermoneta cheese factory (whereas the Pettinicchio brand was retained), and the plant in Acqui Terme (selling the Merlo brand).
