Granarolo Group started the celebration for its 60 years last Wednesday , with a delegation of one thousand farmers, members and employees of the group, that met Pope Francis. This was only the first of a series of events to celebrate the 60 years.
“Ours is a story of sharecroppers - says Gianpiero Calzolari, Chairman of Granarolo Group – which formed cooperatively against the will of their masters, to restore dignity to their work and their families; images of an Italy which luckily in half a century made great strides in terms of social achievements. A story of brave pioneers, that starting from Emilia-Romagna were able to look over, to invest, to discover other knowledge until they became what we are today: the first agribusiness company with Italian capital and the largest milk Italian chain owned directly by the breeders members of the Granlatte cooperative, more than 1000 in 12 Italian regions, and 2,800 employees”.
