Founded in the late 1960s in San Rocco al Porto near Milan - now the province of Lodi - Formec Biffi with its two brands Biffi and Gaia is a leading company in the food industry. A success built over the years thanks to a continuous investment in research.
It all began with mayonnaise. It was with this product that Dr. Pietro Casella, founder of Formec, started his business at a time when convenience foods were still an exception, especially in Italy.
Dr. Casella's intuition was precisely to bet on the evolution of this market and the establishment of large-scale distribution and, with it, of new consumption habits.
This vocation for innovation continues to inspire the company's activity, which works to anticipate market needs with a focus on the most evolved segments that drive demand.
Formec Biffi believes in the value of ethical business culture: it has always been attentive to the quality of the working environment, which it supports with various investments.
The plant and administrative headquarters surrounded by greenery overlook a magnificent park, a small lake and a sports center built for employees and their families.
In the park is Corte Biffi, a prestigious guesthouse where the company's specialties can be enjoyed during convivial meetings and events that Formec Biffi sponsors with sports and recreational events, actively supporting cultural initiatives in its territory.
Quality is a philosophy and genuine passion for Formec Biffi that inspires all stages of production, from the control of raw materials to their processing to the finished product.
It is thanks to accurate controls and strict compliance with quality standards that Formec Biffi can guarantee the maximum safety of each of its products, responding to the legitimate demands of an increasingly demanding and prepared consumer.
An innovative company, an enlightened entrepreneur
A creative, dynamic and curious man, Dr. Pietro Casella has built his company's success by investing in research and innovation, betting on his ability to be ahead of the times by imagining evolutions in taste, anticipating market demands. His is a company that is faithful to an idea of ethical enterprise and for this reason is particularly attentive to the quality of the working environment and its social role.
In addition to his work, Dr. Casella has always nurtured a great passion for art, which led him to become a collector, supporting artists and projects in various ways. This passion had an important crowning achievement in 2009 with the opening of Biffi Arte a modern and contemporary art gallery that keeps alive the historical link between the Biffi brand and the art world.
In fact, it was around the elegant tables of Milan's Caffè Biffi that Marinetti,Balla, Depero and many other artists gave birth to the Futurist movement, which so much influenced the culture and spirit of the entire 20th century
