In the U.S.A., the group owns a newly built, 185,000 square foot factory that was inaugurated in 2007, and has the most modern olive oil bottling technology in the world.
The factory is located in Rome, New York. It imports olive oil from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Tunisia, amongst others. It is focused on bottling and distributing olive oils, blends, vegetable oils and vinegars.
Five rail lines service the facility, where oil is pumped to 59 storage tanks capable of holding up to 380,000 gallons (1.4 million liters) of oil.
The production lines feed into automated shrink-wrappers and palletizers before passing product through to the warehouse, which boasts 12,000 pallet positions to hold both raw and secondary materials and finished goods.
