Our origin, history and EXPERIENCE

1902

The commercial production of Plasmon as an nutritive ingredient in the popular buscuit, pastina and cocoa drinks began in Milan

1963 After World War II: Plasmon established itself as leader in infant feeding by expanding its range of baby food products. Amongst the products introduced one would find baby juices, baby food and fruit in jars.

1964 As part of the development and improvement in quality, Plasmon is acquired by Heinz

1981 Introduction of the innovative total production process control system: the Oasi Plasmon program. This program offers the unique guarantee of total quality from the raw material to the finished product.

2000

The Latina plant becomes a European centre of excellence for the production of wet baby foods.

Our Quality Guarantee In addition to the standard characteristics shared by all our products, we have developed a highly advanced quality system known as the “Plasmon Oasis Program”

This is a cutting-edge program, a system that guarantees the total quality and control of the entire production process, from the fields and pastures right through to the finished product.

• Throughout the world, we select the ideal areas for crop cultivation and raising animals, and rather than buying our raw materials on the market, we stipulate specific cultivation / husbandry agreements with our partner suppliers.

• All our raw materials are completely traceable, from the fields to the finished product.

• Specific controls are carried out at every step of the production process, including inspections of crops and herds.

• A team of specialised technicians (agronomists, veterinarians, chemists) studies all the issues and the applicable norms in order to prevent any possible risk.
