The animal food is
a family story.

Contar la historia de mi empresa es como hajear un álbum familiar:
Full of memories, values, affections, passion, perseverance and tradition.

In this album there are still many pages to write,
con imágenes de innovation, logros y humanidad que seguirán alimentando nuestra historia.

The history of a family, a company, a future.

Behind our image
y de la claridad de nuestros valores,
This is our story..

1960

Todo empieza en un pequeño criadero

Baldassare Giacomo Monge was born in 1934, the second of three children.
Su padre Doménico had founded an poultry company with two fundamental rules. The primer: optimize costs without spending more than necessary. La segunda: nothing is wasted, everything is recycled.

Con estos principios, algunos años después, Baldassarre transformed the familiar experience en una nueva manera de concebir la alimentación para los animales domesticos.

1963

The intuition that changes everything.

Mientras Italia atravesaba una gran transformación y perros y gatos pasaban a ser parte del núcleo familiar, Baldassarre comprendió que hacía falta un cambio radical en su alimentación: sus necesidades nutritionales eran muy differentes a las del ser humano.

Thus he introduced a new approach: reemplazó las sobras de cocina por carne de pollo no utilizado y cocida al vapor.
Thus was born the first animal feed company in Italy.

1975

A break with the rules.

Another decisive intuition: el sistema de apertura fácil.
Hasta 1975, las conservas y la carne enlatada requerían abrelatas. Monge lanzó el "“easy-open”", el sistema de apertura a tirón que evitaba que los clientse se suciaran las manos o se cutaran.

It was the first Italian company to adopt this innovation.

The vision turns into a tray.

For the first time in the Italian market, Monge introduced patés for cats in practical trays of 100 g.
A food and a format that quickly conquered consumers.

1994

La innovation llega al horno.

The search for productive optimization continued.

Por primera vez, se introdujo la cocción al horno del animal fodder, utilizando maquinarias until entonces reservadas a la industria de la repostería.
