Pavan Group - Annual Report 2012

Growth based on solid foundations The Pavan Group posted sales of 136 million Euro in 2012, up by 11% with respect to the previous year. EBITDA climbed 15% to 22 million Euro and, for the first time, net profit exceeded 10 million Euro. With its export-oriented approach, the Pavan Group aims to penetrate the fastest-growing markets featuring positive population growth trends and an expanding food-processing sector. Some 75% of the turnover was generated in non-EU markets, enabling the Group to grow by more than 50% over the past 5 years. Such a marked internationalisation stems from balanced internal growth, well-pondered acquisitions and the Group's self-financing policies. This approach has reduced the Group's exposure to uncertainties which, in recent times, have rarely afforded opportunities for success. The future strategy focuses on three key areas: cost control, customer service and product innovation. Firstly, attention will be devoted to the operational management of manufacturing plants and the steady improvement of efficiency over time, a commitment reflected in the Group's internal organisation geared towards reducing all costs

that do not generate tangible value for customers. In tune with this approach, a photovoltaic system was installed in 2012 capable of making the Golfetto Sangati production facility in Quinto di Treviso energy-independent , with consequent financial savings combined with reduced CO2 emissions. Proper maintenance coupled with regular upgrading ensure that plants installed by the Pavan Group are able to operate in a fully efficient manner for decades. This is why a timely and effective after-sales service is strategic for maintaining lasting relationships and loyalty of customers. Consequently, the Group continues to invest in this area, in terms of human resources, equipment and operating methods. The food-processing sector is often regarded as highly traditional but, in actual fact, product innovations have revolutionised the appearance and nature of products found in shops nowadays, compared to 15 years ago. The evolution has involved food products as well as packaging technologies, a segment that grew by more than 20% in 2012.

Product innovation is also a driving force in the Snacks division, the turnover of which rose by 20%. This division tackles an industry with a high propensity for experimentation in the quest for new and healthy products. Golfetto Sangati, the latest addition to the Pavan Group, contributed to growth with an increase in turnover of almost 20%, deriving from the manufacture of important plants combining milling and pasta-production processes. The forecasts indicate a mediumterm growth, thus the Group looks forward with confidence to achieving its ambitious annual turnover target of 150 million Euro within the next two years.

Pavan Group - Annual Report 2012

TECHNICAL INNOVATION

Design and product management: evolving systems The gradual implementation and adoption of the CAD 3D and PDM (Product Data Management) system in the technical area enabled applications to be extended to various functional areas during 2012. Following the recent developments, the system now enables the designers to share all project data with the team responsible for programming the machine tools used in the production departments. 3D models for removing slugs and 2D profiles for drilling are already available and directly accessible from the system, without any need for further processing. In the spare parts and manuals sector, besides the presentational advantages offered by 3D imaging, the new links developed between the ERP, PDM and CAD 3D systems allow for rapidly and associatively obtaining exploded views, parts lists and other resources directly from the technical area database, thereby reducing response times and ensuring greater accuracy.

Dynamic balancing of rotating parts The data provided by the 3D model was processed using the laws of dynamics to develop a balancing procedure for rotors used in the processing of food products. This technique allows for reducing the size of the balancing weights to be attached to finished parts, as well as the time required for the balancing process in the factory. Finite elements and computational fluid dynamics for optimising airflow within dryers The engineering team within the technical department uses professional software for effecting finite element calculations in the structural field, both from a thermal and fluid dynamics perspective. Intensive use of these tools allowed for engineering and optimising various applications, from the loadbearing structures of presses to the study of airflow within dryers. Thanks

to these analyses, it was possible to improve the quality and performance of the machines, while keeping costs under control. Energy efficiency Various analyses and field trials were carried out in order to map the energy consumption of the dried pasta lines. The collected data was used to start in-depth studies of the related thermo-dynamic processes geared towards reducing energy requirements and improving both the drying process and product technology. Research has also led to the development of innovative systems for energy recovery to be implemented on production lines.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Corn Flakes Tempering: a specific innovation involving the most traditional of breakfast cereals The Pavan plants for corn flakes production have always differed from the alternatives available on the market due to an exclusive pre-treatment process that steams the humidified product within the mixing tank before it passes through the extruder. This significantly reduces the cooking phase during extrusion subject to heavy mechanical stress, thus improving the colour, taste and resistance of the corn flakes when immersed in milk. In 2012, Pavan's R&D department completed the development of the so-called “Corn Flakes Tempering� technology, which marks a further step forward in the quest for

14

maximising the quality of the extruded product. The new process consists in subjecting the product to a second heat treatment process for about one hour after extrusion, under relatively high temperature and humidity conditions. This innovation has a direct impact on the finished product: the taste, colour, blistering and resistance to milk of the resulting flakes - are even closer to those of corn flakes obtained with the batch cooking process. The industrialisation of the process was made possible thanks to Pavan Group's acquired experience in pasta drying under high temperature and humidity conditions. The Group's know-how and practical experience

with dryers was transferred and adapted to corn flakes; in particular, the application of panelling and air curtains both up- and down-stream of the machine allowed for obtaining high temperatures while also keeping the humidity level high. In 2012, the research results materialised with the installation and start-up of the first corn flakes machine implementing the tempering technology, with a production capacity of 700 kg/h.

22


Pavan Group - Annual Report 2012

This major multinational producer of pasta has commissioned to Pavan the project and installation of the long cut pasta section. The requirement of a very high capacity line which in the meantime can assure the full respect of stringent quality standards, suggested them to choose Pavan not only as machinery supplier, but also as

technical partner. Pavan installed here two automatic continuous presses (PHP 240/2/2500) with maximum capacity of 4 tons/hour each. The dough formation, obtained with low rotation speed and low temperature, is completely under vacuum. The drying stage is entrusted to two 3-stages dryers with TAS technology.

By the automation system developed by Pavan, the operators can supervise and manage the entire lines directly in the control room: from mixing to extrusion, from drying to final cutting. This results is a fully automated process, that assures one of the most appreciated industrial pasta in the world.

Nest machine: tubes with compressed air blow for forming pasta nests. 32


Pavan Group - Annual Report 2012

Tress GmbH (Germany) was established in 1969, aiming since the very beginning to create a top quality dry pasta. They manufactured it as more similar as possible to the homemade pasta traditionally made by housewives. In 1979 the company was transferred to Münsingen and continued growing year after year. In 2005 the capacity was full, and the management decided to invest in new processing lines to start the production of nest-shaped and short-cut pasta. The two new lines were commissioned to Pavan.

“We wanted to have very flexible machines, able to quickly switch from one shape to the other easily adapting recipes and dies. We wanted our pasta to have the best taste, color and texture. We were willing to grow and invest, but we had to be sure to do it right: for a small company like we are, it is very important to do the right things since the beginning. So we decided to trust on a big market player. We chose Pavan to implement our 2 new lines because they engineered the best customized solution to install the machines in

our narrow space, keeping in mind all the requirements we asked. And they actually translated our expectations on our final product into state of the art equipment. Now we have the technology we need, and we produce the pasta we imagined!” Markus Tress CEO, Tress GmbH

Ipack-ima 2012

At the 2012 edition of IPACK IMA, held in Milan from 28 February to 3 March, the Pavan Group welcomed visitors to a stand encompassing all the main company sectors: namely the Dry Pasta, Fresh Pasta and Snack divisions, Packaging by Stiavelli and Dizma, milling technology from Golfetto Sangati- and storage, mixing and transport- solutions offered by Pizeta. An integrated approach for highlighting the Group's new structure: advanced integrated technological solutions offering a complete range of installations covering the entire supply chain, from the unloading of raw materials from ships to finished products ready for retail sale. Each division had its own area within the stand to showcase the latest upgrades to the Group's technology. IPACK IMA offered an important occasion to significantly refresh the Group's image. The Pavan Group's mission is summarised in the pay-off accompanying the new logo: Technology to feed a growing world.

“Being one of the leading players in the global food-processing industry requires acknowledging the full implications of this role. It is not possible to pursue a sales policy exclusively geared towards generating positive margins and profit for the company and its stakeholders: the fact that the Group's companies support their clients daily as technological partners demands Pavan's active contribution to the overall growth, through increasingly efficient and rational solutions capable of expanding consumption of food products manufactured by our clients.” The words of Andrea Cavagnis, CEO of the Pavan Group, sum up the value of technology as a cornerstone of the Group's philosophy: “Technology to feed a growing world: technology as the combination of manufacturing know-how and experience in assessing the quality of the finished product. Technology stemming from the integration and cooperation of a Group of companies that work closely together in a synergic manner to cover the entire supply chain, from the unloading of raw materials to the packaged

product ready for retail sale. Technology that allows for tailoring the production systems on the specific needs of our client, through close cooperation. Technology that allows for feeding a constantly evolving world." The flood of visitors and buyers, mostly from Europe, but also from the emerging countries, was a tangible response to the investment made for participating in IPACK-IMA.

Pavan Group - Annual Report 2012

Human resources

Pavan is committed to meeting the expectations of the people who animate the company, by creating a work environment able to attract, keep and exploit talent. Several years ago Pavan started a policy of systematically listening to its employees via the constant exchange of information and suggestions. This is the way to achieve shared objectives. The value of Pavan is the value of its people, and the company is well-aware of this: the tools provided by the Personnel Recruitment and Training function results in the placement of qualified resources in each role, the spreading of a performance culture, the careful management of remuneration policies, and the ongoing development of leadership skills. The process of change that has marked the recent history of Pavan is attributable, in part, to the coordination and effective contribution made by the Personnel Recruitment and Training function, which implements and maintains systems and procedures (selection and placement, assessment, growth, training, salary review and 50

succession planning) in line with company expectations to support the professional growth of all personnel. The creation of a friendly, stimulating and challenging work environment is among the company’s primary objectives: each individual is at the centre of every Pavan Group resource management policy.

Development Project The Development Project outlines the activities that the company has identified in order to improve procedures for selection and placement of Human Resources with high potential, destined to become the future management team. Cyclically, the selection process will consider new graduates and young people with diplomas from technical and engineering studies (mechanical,

electro-technical/electronics, chemistry, agricultural, etc.), who have obtained their educational qualifications with marks of at least 95/110 or 80/100. In addition to their specific skills, a careful assessment will be made of the growth potential expressed by them and any aspects of their personality that may affect their expected professional growth. In addition to the already proven selection activities, a psychological type assessment will also be carried

out by qualified experts linked to the company and appropriately documented. Once the selection and recruitment stages are completed, new employees will begin a targeted professional career path that will follow some newly set out fundamental criteria. At the end of a period of 4 or 5 years, the Resources that have attained an adequate level of professional competence and managerial skill, will be given responsibility for a function. 51

Corporate social responsibility For the Pavan Group, sustainability means offering innovative products and plants with maximum attention to all the effects of its activities on the surrounding environment, and on all stakeholders who gravitate around the Group, with the aim of consolidating a business model that creates value for all. We are aware that every activity carried out and every decision taken involves economic, but also social, consequences. No matter where in the world, we ensure transparent and fair behaviour towards our colleagues, customers and suppliers. For us, respect for people, shared social values and the commitments made, is a rule of conduct essential to developing sincere, lasting and profitable relationships. Chernobyl Project 2012

PAVAN’S SOCIAL COMMITMENT

In addition to projects aimed at fighting malnutrition and starting sustainable growth models, Pavan firmly believes in the potential of voluntary work and associations. The sponsorship programme includes several social projects. ”Chernobyl Project” On the initiative of families and local associations, a number of children from Belarus who are affected by the radiation effects of the toxic cloud from Chernobyl are hosted every year during the summer period. Their stay in Italy allows them to receive health care and, at the same time, to enjoy happier environments and 52

situations. Pavan supports the initiative by contributing to the airfares of these children. ”Casa della Sussidiarietà” A three-year project providing for the construction of a centre for terminally ill young people at the “Opera Immacolata Concezione” of Padua has been financed. ”I Ragazzi del Sole” A project aimed at the integration, independence and socialisation of children with disabilities. “Comunità di San Patrignano” The objective of this community is to take care of and cure marginalised people and drug addicts, without

any social, political or religious discrimination. “Run For Children” A 12-hour run for the Guinness World Record. This event financed “Fondazione Istituto di Ricerca Pediatrica Città della Speranza”, a leading foundation in the research and treatment of infant leukaemia. Pavan was an active sponsor of the event and encouraged the participation of its employees by organising a company team. “Seniores Italia” Non-profit association that promotes the cooperation between professionals and organizations involved in the development of local production system in the emerging market countries.

RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS CIVIL SOCIETY

RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS HUMAN RESOURCES

Creating a network of knowledge, for the mutual growth of all parties involved. Pavan aims to include in the network the most authoritative active parties, providing them with culture and tools in order to contribute towards the sustainable development of local farm to food supply chains. With this objective, the company has established collaborations with non-profit humanitarian organisations, institutions and associations. Among the many projects already implemented,

Pavan makes an equipped gym available for all employees wishing to improve their physical and mental well-being, flanked by a dedicated personal trainer.

Run For Children 2012

particularly noteworthy is the long cooperation (over 25 years) with some of the most authoritative accredited international organisations: FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation), UNDP (United Nation Development Programme), UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation) and WFP (World Food Programme). The commitment alongside them is aimed specifically at starting projects and feasibility studies to increase the level of nutrition and improve the quality of life in developing countries.

In the last sports season, pre-skiing, pilates, functional training, tonic energy and M.E.T. (metabolic exercise training) courses were organised with the participation of over one hundred employees. Activities also included cycling competitions such as the �San Luca Trophy�.

Study, sport, culture PROMOTING KNOWLEDGE

PROMOTING SPORT

PROMOTING CULTURE

For the children of its employees, every year Pavan offers Study Scholarships for upper secondary school students and university students who stand out for excellence in technical and scientific subjects.

Team spirit is one of the values characterising the organisational structure of Pavan. Sport as a metaphor for cooperation and the importance of the role of each individual, leads Pavan to support regional initiatives of international importance. Pavan is a sponsor of the Petrarca Rugby team. The company’s sole objective, for non-profit purposes, is to promote sport, training and the preparation of athletes, not least from a civil and moral standpoint, as well as the management of rugby teams.

This commitment to the cultural field is based on the conviction that experience in this area encourages qualities and characteristics that are all-important in the field of work: creativity, intellectual interest, openness to new experiences and the ability to interact with the others.

In 2012, two scholarships were granted for university students and three for high school students.

In this perspective, the Pavan Group sponsors the concert activities of ”I Solisti Veneti” in the context of the ”Veneto Festival”.

Sustainability In 2012, despite a very careful policy in terms of resources utilization, the production increase caused a rise in the consumption of energy and methane gas. On the other side, water and paper consumption have been significantly reduced. With the recent investment in the photovoltaic system installed at Golfetto Sangati, the target for coming years is a substantial decrease of CO2 emissions, sided by a growing utilization of clean sources.

Furthermore, since 2008 all brochures and leaflets have been printed on certified FSC paper, a mark that identifies the products containing wood coming from forests managed in a correct and responsible way according to rigorous environmental friendly, social and economic standards.

Pavan shares a strong commitment to protect the environment and scarce resources, now and for future generations, improving efficiency in operations and involving all suppliers to continuously optimize the environmental performance of Pavan equipment along the entire value chain. This effort is oriented also towards internal processes: in 2012 an internal campaign has been activated to

Energy that powers the future

In line with the Pavan Group’s philosophy, Golfetto Sangati invests in clean energy today, confirming the attention given to the equilibrium of our planet as a necessary step to supporting sustainable growth. The photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the production unit in Quinto di Treviso (Italy) was recently inaugurated. With an average energy production of 926,000 kWh/year obtained by means of 3,442 modules spread over an area of approximately 6,000 sqm, the investment ensures a significant reduction in the environmental impact of the Pavan Group.

60

During the sunniest months production activities can be sustained entirely by solar energy, without resorting to any polluting energy sources, while also feeding part of the energy generated into the grid. This means zero pollutant emissions for the production of electricity, avoiding the emission of nearly 400 tons of CO2 and 160 TOE (tons of oil equivalent) per year. The focus on environmental balance is applied to all activities carried out by Group companies, both in the development of technology and machinery able to optimise energy resources, and in the adoption of an environmentally sustainable organisational and production model.

As well as the use of clean energy sources and limiting the consumption of water and natural gas, the Group implements complete control over production processes in order to encourage the use of environmentally-friendly and recyclable construction and packing materials.
