For some time now the new frontier of pet food is oriented to the study of the needs by breed, size, lifestyles and ages of dogs and cats. This is because each of our little friends has specific needs related to different aspects. Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals and fibre are the precious elements that ensure the growth, development and maintenance of our faithful companions. The researchers of the analysis laboratory search for the best ingredients to create products that contain the right mix of these elements. The result is an ideal diet for every dog and cat.
Concrete commitment to a sustainable economy
Monge has always favoured policies that are geared to the development of a sustainable economy:
- Our tins and trays are endlessly recyclable.
- 80% of the energy we use is self-produced, thanks to the installation of photovoltaic panels, a cogenerator and a Kawasaki turbine.
- Over 90% of the steam used in our production processes is obtained by heat recovery from the cogenerator and the turbine.
- Our factory is heated entirely by hot water generated by heat recovered from a continuous steriliser and the turbine.
- Most of the waste produced by our factory is separated by type and sent for recycling.
- Our fleet of trucks is expanding to include vehicles fuelled by liquid methane gas.

Measure 4
Operation 4.2.1
Description of the project: Technological innovation of the filling and sealing process of paté in 100g single-portion trays.
The investment is intended to improve the quality and enhance the production of the paté in 100g single-portion trays, to develop in particular products with a single protein source, such as chicken monoprotein, to support a wet pet food market trend which gives preference to this kind of food.
Thanks to the new technologies in accordance with the “Industry 4.0” model the implementation of the project will allow to improve the ordinary and extraordinary management of the production, starting from a new production structure able to respond to the evolution of the market without compromising on quality, increasing the integration between production, storage, logistics and distribution, in line with the technological and digital development taking place in the production site of Monasterolo di Savigliano.
Total cost: € 2,000,000.00
