Parmalat, part of Lactalis, is investing €24m in its Italian UHT milk plants in Collecchio and Zevio. The Italian government is supporting the measures with €9.7m so that the company can install high-tech equipment to increase capacity and switch to innovative, recyclable packaging.
“The key to the revival of Parmalat lies in the credibility of a brand known throughout the world, which relies for its production on the quality of Italian raw materials supplied by the many small companies that are part of our dairy chain,” said Giancarlo Giorgetti, Italian Minister of Economy and Development.
