Telling the story of my company is like flipping through a family album,
Which is full of memories, values, deep feelings, dedication, perseverance, and traditions.
There are still many blank pages in this album that need to be filled with images of innovations, successes, and new achievements,
And with the stories of those people who will continue to write our history in the future.
The story of a family, a company and a future.

The story of a family, a company and a future.
Baldassare Monge
Baldassare Giacomo Monge was born in 1934, the second of three children. His father, Domenico, had started a poultry business with two golden rules. First of all, optimize costs without spending more than necessary. Secondly, waste nothing – everything must be reworked.
A few years later, and with these principles in mind, Baldassarre would recognize how to turn his family's experience into a new conception of pet food.
This is a time of great change in Italy: dogs and cats are increasingly becoming full-fledged members of the family. Baldassare realizes that their diet needs to change, as the nutritional needs of animals are significantly different from those of humans.
He introduces a revolutionary approach: replacing traditional kitchen waste with steamed chicken. Thus begins the story of Italy's first pet food company.
Another groundbreaking idea was easy-open packaging. Until 1975, canned food and meat cans required a can opener to open them. In 1975, Monge introduced a ring-shaped, easy-open system to prevent consumers from getting their hands stuck and injured when opening the can.
This makes Monge the first Italian company to introduce this innovation.
Monge is introducing cat pâté in 100-gram jars to the Italian market for the first time.
Both the product and this packaging format are highly appreciated by consumers.
With production optimization, Monge is setting new records.
For the first time, meat pieces are being cooked in the oven — previously, such technology was mainly used in confectionery production.
2020 - Opening of a new logistics and distribution center.
An automated warehouse designed for 43,000 pallets is being installed.
2013 - Beyond Expectations
A new dry food plant opens in 2013: with an annual production capacity of over 127,000 tons of dry food, an automated warehouse for 43,000 pallets, and a total area of 180,000 sq m.
2008 - Production
In 2008, the production of 100-gram pouches for cats began — at the time, it was the first and only production line of this type in Southern Europe.
2022 - Building the Foundation for the Future
The company continues to grow: investing in technology, research and quality, seeking new export markets and creating new products.
This is a continuous challenge, in which both new generations of the family and experienced professionals are involved — to continue the vision, dedication, and common cause of Baldassare Monge.
2005 - Innovation
In 2005, Monge opened one of the most modern wet food plants in Europe, with an annual capacity of more than 213 million cans and 110 million trays.
2007 - Optimization
In 2008, Monge began producing empty steel cans in its own factory. This innovation reduced both logistics costs and emissions.
