History

Cereal Docks launches the institutional campaign “Gli Ingredienti” to celebrate the company’s first 40 years. The campaign highlights what lies “behind” many food and pet food products: care, safety, quality, sustainability, and guaranteed traceability, all stemming from strong relationships with the agricultural world, the expertise of Cereal Docks agronomists, and other key players in the supply chain. Cereal Docks is, in fact, the safe and traceable ingredient behind many of the products we consume every day.

The Cereal Docks Group celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2023 with three special events dedicated to colleagues, customers, and institutions to commemorate this significant milestone and reflect on the upcoming challenges facing the Italian agri-food system. The three-day event, titled “The Ingredients that Fuel Our Future,” was held in the beautiful setting of the H-Farm Campus, a unique space for sharing and collaboration among students, professionals, and entrepreneurs, and particularly a hub for nurturing young talent.
