Unigra Food Processing Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd

 Unigrà is an Italian agro-food group founded in 1972 by Cavaliere del Lavoro [a “Merit for Labour” title awarded by the Italian Government, translator’s note] Luciano Martini. It has always been operating in the food industry to develop products and solutions intended for professionals and final consumers. Today, Unigrà is an important international enterprise, employing more than 1,150 people and exporting 40% of its production; it has five plants (three in Italy, 1 in Brazil and 1 in Malaysia), 16 foreign subsidiaries and a large network of distributors and importers. Through its various brands, the company offers high-end raw materials, semi-processed and finished products across all channels: industrial, artisan, Ho.Re.Ca. and retail. The success of Unigrà is founded on clear and winning concepts: constant search for the best raw materials, a strong focus on product quality, consistent investment in cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, constant attention to market and customer requirements, assertiveness and determination in achieving increasingly ambitious results through care, passion and transparency. 

The historical production site of Unigrà is located in Conselice (RA): it has been built in the early 1970s and has never stopped growing since then. Over time, it has been complemented with two other plants, following the acquisitions of Olfood (in Borgo San Giacomo – Brescia) and D+F (in Vinci – Florence).

Over the past few years, the Company has also expanded abroad, by establishing two new plants in Brazil and Malaysia to control the strategic markets of Asia and South America.

 The production complex in Malaysia, inaugurated in 2019 in the city of Pasir Gudang, State of Johor, is a strategic industrial investment in the APAC region, a huge emerging market where the group expects the plant to help offer a rapid and efficient service for its customer base. The plant covers approximately 27,000 square metres, with production units for real and compound chocolate, UHT vegetable creams and margarines.
