Eurovo, tre nuovi stabilimenti per coprire il boom di consumi

Eurovo, a company headquartered in Imola, has announced three new facilities as part of a three-year plan worth 120 million euros. The company aims to increase its production capacity, integrate the supply chain, and promote sustainability as egg consumption in Italy continues to rise. According to Circana, egg sales in Italy grew by 8% between January and August 2026.

The most significant project is set to launch in Imola at the end of November. This 25-million-euro investment will create a seventh packaging center capable of producing up to 5 million eggs per day and will employ around 150 people. Federico Lionello, the group's commercial director, explains that this investment allows the company to keep up with the growing demand and enhance efficiency and automation.

Another facility will open in January in Amelia, Umbria. This 18-million-euro project involves a new land-based farm for 500,000 chickens. Lionello emphasizes that the company is investing to strengthen the Italian production base and ensure a steady supply as demand outpaces supply.

The third investment centers on Romagna. By 2027, Eurovo will establish a 10-million-euro feed mill in Bagnara di Romagna, where organic feed will also be produced. Silvia Lionello, the company's marketing director, highlights that this project aims to provide more precise control over the entire supply chain, from animal nutrition to the final product, reducing inefficiencies and environmental impact. The feed industry is crucial, as nearly 40% of Italy's feed is used in poultry farming.

This industrial growth is accompanied by a sustainability journey. Eurovo uses advanced software for supply planning, recycles chicken manure into fertilizer for agriculture, invests in solar energy, and reduces packaging. In 2025, the company's solar installations generated 4,411 megawatt-hours of electricity, and the group dedicated 80,000 hours to internal biosecurity efforts.

Silvia Lionello stresses that sustainability must be concrete and measurable, meaning using fewer resources, valorizing waste, and making every production step more efficient. The plan is supported by a changing market, with increased demand for egg whites, up 20% in Italy in 2025, driven by interest in protein, well-being, and functional food. This shift reflects the growing high-tech and investment-intensive nature of what is essentially a simple product.
