Background

Parmalat has been the main innovator in the drinking milk market. Through product and technology innovation it has always been at the leading edge in presenting new consumer solutions to the market. The group’s technologies enable it to sustain policies aimed at competitive advantages in terms of price (premium price) in the group’s core businesses, including UHT Milk and Fruit Beverages.
The partnership with Bardiani Valvole was born over 30 years ago, in 1990. Bardiani Valvole supplies the first valves to the Collecchio plant.
In the 1990s, the Parmalat group began a strong and rapid development at an international level. Plants are established in Brazil, the United States, Canada, South Africa etc, and Bardiani supports this growth with the installation of valves in all new production sites.
The latest project in terms of time is the one carried out in Canada, where Bardiani Easy-Maintenance Design Valves have been selected to build a new valve cluster.
The collaboration with Parmalat allows Bardiani to develop certified valves and specific solutions for fresh milk, UHT milk and yogurt plants.

Bardiani Care

The partnership between Parmalat and Bardiani Valvole is a close collaboration based on the supply of high quality valves, on the guarantee of fast deliveries, and on the development of dedicated solutions.
Main cornerstone of this partnership is service.
Parmalat joined Bardiani Care, the program dedicated to preventive maintenance, in particular for the Santàl production line.
The Bardiani team carries out maintenance during plant shutdowns in order to keep the line always in complete efficiency.
Bardiani Valvole also suggests replacement kits so that the internal maintenance team, suitably trained by Bardiani technicians, can assist promptly in case of urgency.
As an additional service to the customer, Bardiani ensures rapid deliveries of spare parts and guaranteed availability over time.
