New Barilla sauce plant is committed to quality

A new $53 million facility near Parma, Italy, uses extensive quality controls from the field to the final package to ensure the most authentic Italian food experience.

High quality: That is the goal for most consumer packaged goods companies when manufacturing and producing their products. However, for Italian foods company Barilla Group, their commitment to high-quality product has been brought to whole new levels with the opening in July 2012 of a new sauce plant in Rubbiano di Solignano, near Parma, Italy. From raw materials through packaging, every step in the process has been engineered to result in the highest-quality product that most closely resembles homemade sauces made in the Italian tradition.

“We create the quality of the product step-by-step, both before and during production,” says Marco Sacchelli, Rubbiano Plant Director. “This is the real difference between us and our competitors.”
