Fosfitalia s.p.A. is the leader of the Group and is the company dedicated to industrial production.Its main activity, and also the best known, is the production of calcium phosphates for zootechnical use, obtained by chemical synthesis using orthophosphoric acid. Calcium phosphates are mineral products for animal feed; are used in feed and help meet the phosphorus and calcium needs of animals.Industrial production takes place in the two factories located in Forli ‘and Ravenna.In Ravenna, a port town near Forlì, the company owns a coastal depot along the main branch of the Candiano canal, on the banks of which many of the major national industries rise and operate.The coastal depot, located inside the plant, has the capacity to accommodate up to 15,000 tons of orthophosphoric acid coming by sea, by means of tankers that can dock on the quay of the plant, adjacent and facing it.The production of calcium phosphates for livestock use dates back to the early 70s, initially in the Forlì plant and then in the Ravenna plant, built in the early 90s when the company consolidated its leadership on the national market.In 2008 the company diversified production between the two sites, renovating the existing plants in Forli ‘, so that today it can count on two technically advanced production complexes equipped with all the components necessary for certified quality production.The analysis and research laboratory is particularly specialized in the production control of mineral phosphates.The company adopts the most up-to-date regulations in terms of safety, traceability, environment and quality, having within it a special qualified control department.The productions are stored in paper, polypropylene bags and in big bags inside covered warehouses and also in bulk in dedicated silos.

Anglia Autoflow is the family business based in Norfolk, England. Since 1969 Anglia Autoflow step by step has been designing, developing, manufacturing and implementing into modern industry a range of innovative and leading-edge products for the food processing industry – the turn key solution for live birds logistic chain. Anglia Autoflow has been at the forefront of creating modern industry standards for the catching, transport and factory handling of poultry. Thanks to Anglia Autoflow, the hanging of birds from open topped drawers has become an industry preference. Easyload™ Transportation solution (Drawer & Module System) was introduced in 1981 and has been a global success, replacing dumping container systems – improving welfare and product quality. Hundreds of Easyload™ systems operating in climates ranging from the severe cold of Canada and Russia to the extreme heat of the Middle East and Africa. Since the mid 80s, the Easyload™ harvester by Anglia Autoflow completely solves the downgrading problems resulting from manually catching and loading birds. The dimensions and manoevrability of the Harvester allow it to work in any type of shed, even with columns and on any litter. These days, the broilers harvesting automation is especially relevant due to the shortage of labour and its high cost. Easyload™ Packer counts and records birds numbers. The world's first nitrogen based Controlled Atmosphere Stunning Easyload™ system was installed in UK in May 2002. Scientific research conducted by the University of Bristol, Anglia Autoflow were able to alongside independent industry tests, conclude that Anglia Autoflow's Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS) produced high quality meat and provided the best welfare solutions. By combining their extensive industry knowledge and experience alongside the work carried out by the University of Bristol and Anglia Autoflow were able to successfully develop the nitrogen based stunning system. Anglia Autoflow won the RSPCA Freedom Foods Alastair Mews Award in 2002. RSPCA is non-profit making farm animal welfare scheme, that promotes improved animal welfare on farms, during transport and at the abattoir. The judges, who included vets, academics, livestock consultants and representative from the trade press commented on the Easyload™ system as "having the potential to have a huge impact on the industry". After CO2 was approved for stunning, Anglia Autoflow developed 5 stage Control Atmosphere Stunning that just used this gas. Birds in drawers smoothly transfer through this system, calmly pass into unconsciousness and remain in this state throughout the hanging and kill process. This eliminates bird stress, releases of adrenaline in the blood and significantly increases the quality of meat. The gas injection and transfer of birds through the CAS systems is automatically controlled and adjusted to suit the bird and line throughput. The Anglia Autoflow's CAS Halal approved in many countries and preferred by Fast Food Chains wanting high product quality and animal welfare. Easyload™ is the best turnkey high bird welfare solution for poultry logistic: Automatic catching Efficient loading Efficient transporting High speed automatic handling at the processing plant Controlled Atmosphere Stunning for all types of birds.
