Sacco

Sacco S.r.l. (www.saccosystem.com) is a biotech company that has positioned itself in the international market since 1934, as a producer and partner in research areas, scale-up, production and packaging of selected frozen and lyophilized microbial cultures, to be used for the production of food and beverages as well as probiotic products.

The overall objectives of Sacco R&D team are the study, development and validation of high quality innovative microbial solutions, which serve the high technical and overall quality demands of a fast- developing market segment that has focused its attention on sustainability, health and well-being of the consumers. This is where the burdens of food-nutra/pharma-agricultural fields vanish and represent for Sacco a continuum of research activities and projects, among which the ONFOOD will represent a strong pillar and accelerator for innovation.

Sacco R&D team consists of more than 30 national and international scientists. It is a young and dynamic environment where different competences are pulled together, all guided by the same target, i.e., developing concrete improved solutions for the different markets where the company operates. Activities range from fundamental studies to development and validation of prototypes. Quality, robustness and reliability of the developed solutions are constantly monitored to optimize the time to market. All laboratories are designed and managed following the lean concept, with strong application of the Kaizen approach, i.e., every activity is optimized to provide the highest value.

The company strongly believes in the synergies that these collaborations have and can generate, conscious about its responsibility of transferring internal know-how and providing a guide and direction for the academic research to be concretely innovative and applicable. Speed and high quality can only be achieved via a truly positive collaboration.
