History
A lot has been said, and even more will be written
It was 1946, when the engineers Nico and Mario Pavan, entrepreneurs with a longstanding family tradition in the pasta manufacturing industry, laid down the founding stone of their pasta machinery engineering company, the Officine Meccaniche Ingg. Nico and Mario Pavan. In the 80’s, with the arrival of a new group of investors, led by Angelo Ferro and Andrea Cavagnis, those first manufacturing plants became a great industrial company, with over 700 employees and prestigious clients throughout the world. But even in such a global entity, all the men and women working for Pavan Group know that their commitment and hardworking enthusiasm keep that first pioneering spirit still alive. They will jointly write the future chapters of this great story to continue to be a point of reference in an ever changing market. A challenge that started at the beginning of the past century, but that still has to see its most exciting issues.

Mapimpianti
Mapimpianti was created in the 80’s with the objective of undertaking a systematic experimental, engineering and technological research activity, for the “convenience food” industry: pre-cooked pastas, snacks, breakfast cereals, pre-cooked flours. In those years, these types of foods had a very successful break-in on the market. Consumers were in fact, very glad to find tasty and “traditional” foods in a fast and practical version, easy and quick to prepare.
That’s what the marketplace was calling for. Mapimpianti’s studies allowed to reach the peak of excellence even in this ever developing field. The company became part of Pavan Group in 1990, and today it’s the brand that best expresses its vertical competence in the engineering of machines and complete turnkey automated systems for extruded, pre-cooked and toasted products, special forming machines and drying lines.

Technology
Technology to feed a growing world
Today, Pavan Group plays a role that goes beyond being a worldwide technology provider. In the last years in fact, the company has decided to help contrast and prevent poverty, developing new sustainable growth models, making its widespread knowledge and reputation in the food industry universally available. In particular it has planned a network of the most active subjects, providing them the training and the tools, for instance by granting scholarships, for the development of a sustainable food and agricultural industry, in their local countries. To reach this objective, it has established a close cooperation with many foundations, institutions, associations and humanitarian non-profit organizations.
Among its many projects we must mention the over 25 year cooperation with some of the most important international foundations: FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation), UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development) and WFP (World Food Programme). Their joint commitment specifically focuses on implementing projects and feasibility studies for the increase of the nutritional levels and improvement of the quality of life, in Third World countries.

Quality
Quality is our daily mission
Quality is a strategic objective that must be pursued to guarantee maximum client satisfaction, and therefore successful business. For this reason, Pavan Group totally complies with the TQM, Total Quality Management, philosophy, a “model of excellence” inspired by universally recognized principles, and completely measurable.

of its corporate processes and a higher specialization of all its human resources. But Pavan Group’s total quality is not limited to its organizational aspects: it also stands for a careful selection of the raw materials, like the stainless steel and special irons used for building the practically indestructible plants, which unceasingly work day and night, 350 days a year for decades. This means assigning a great role to after-sales customer service, ensuring all customers a real-time maintenance service, through PLC and remote systems, thus putting a guarantee seal on a long-lasting investment and on the efficiency that has made all Pavan manufacturing systems a real legend within the industry.

Research
Research and development the main ingredients for excellence
Always fighting in first line in the technological challenge that has seen them among the best, right from their very first beginning. Pavan Group nourishes its success through constant and thoroughly organized Research & Development activities, which can rely on a team of 30 people, between process technicians, analysts and mechanics. They have a 2000 sq. m. area fully equipped with 3 pilot plants and four flexible production lines that can analyze the new products under all aspects, and a laboratory furnished with all types of instruments for chemical, chemicalphysical, rheological analysis and nutritional and organoleptic tests on food. The Pavan School of Food Technologies is this division’s flagship. This school provides to all its students (technicians, production and quality control managers, professionals from all over the world) a theorical and practical training on all issues concerning the world of pasta, and in general on all the food supply/processing chain.
Other very important activities are: • The research of new materials, new techniques for analysis, and innovative or alternative processes. • The preparation and participation to Italian and European research projects. • The organisation and management of the courses for the Pavan School of Food Technologies, and other training courses. • The cooperation with Italian Universities and with the international academic world, and Institutions. • The organization of seminars and conventions.

People
Our people’s value is our best resource
Our people, with their stories, competences and human qualities, are a primary factor of our Group’s success. For this reason we favour the professional growth of our employees, valorising their talents and cultivating a serene and constructive environment, humanly and professionally stimulating. The company, through its Human Resources department, operates a respectful placement policy carefully placing the most qualified profiles, spreading a culture based on performance, carrying a sensible salary policy conforming them to the level of responsibility, developing single competences and encouraging leadership. Following this direction, Pavan Group started out a few years ago a counselling service for its 700 employees, thus opening an important chan-
nel where information and suggestions are exchanged, favouring personal improvement and the fulfilment of common objectives. This is a real cultural turnover, translated into a “Change Management” program, which on one side guarantees the employees a personal valorisation, incentives expressed as benefits and concrete professional opportunities and career advancements, but on the other side, it requires a personal commitment, responsibility, dialogue and transparency, effectiveness and productiveness, which are constantly monitored and evaluated. For Pavan, each person’s skills can generate trust and customer loyalty, helping the company perform at its best, interpreting their clients’ needs, while offering them only valuable solutions.

Environment
We embrace the environmental cause, everyday
Pavan Group pays great attention to all environmental issues, perfectly complying to all the local environmental rules, of each country where it operates. Our environmental management system applies to many fields, trying to reduce the waste of resources, reduce energy and water consumption and of any other element that might have a direct impact on the eco-system. Energy, methane and water consumption are carefully monitored, and all this attention has translated itself into a dramatic cut down of wastes throughout the years. We operate to prevent pollution and minimize the environmental risks con-
nected to our industrial activities and to the raw materials utilized (steel, aluminium, copper, bronze, brass, metallic and wooden packaging), making forecasts and continuously monitoring the critical parameters, so as to activate specific procedures for a correct handling and waste disposal. The manufacturing plant is not the only one involved in this process, even the offices contribute to the cause, for instance by economizing on paper and printing all advertising and sales materials exclusively on FSC certified paper, the brand that identifies products that use timber and timber derived products coming from socially and environmentally responsible forests.

Future

What types of food will we be eating in the future? Scientists describe an open scenario, where to the food that we regularly consume nowadays, we will prefer new ones, more suitable from a nutritional point of view, and that will better interpret the demographic, economic, life style and biological changes. Perhaps this revolution is not that close yet, but it’s certainly getting closer. The most innovative companies are getting ready to live as protagonists this future, and among these we will certainly find Pavan Group. With its R&D team, the company stands close to its clients sustaining them in the creation and development of new products, helping them define the

shape, the consistency, the weight, the taste and the colours that better will meet the consumer’s favour, and creating for them the technologies and the manufacturing plants for a top quality large-scale industrial production, generating the best possible profit. All this, starting from the flour milling to the final packaging that the products will wear to exhibit themselves on the stores’ shelves. This was, is and will be the Group’s driving force: to be a technological partner with a great attraction towards the most exciting challenges, the ones that still have to be imagined.
