Unigrana’s history
Unigrana started its activity in 1991 as a trading company of the Granterre Union (Co-operative) in Modena. Thanks to this structure and to the quality it has always been able to guarantee, Unigrana holds the leadership in Europe in the Parmigiano Reggiano market and is among the first operators non manufacturers for Grana Padano. The Company intends to reach very satisfactory targets and leading positions also with the new line of DOP cheese of the Italian tradition, created with the intention to further widen the offer to users and traders.

Since 1999, Unigrana has been performing also industrial activities, such as: butter production, pig breeding, warehousing, ripening and packaging of cheese.

There’s something of exclusive and unique in Unigrana’s structure, something which differentiates the Granterre Union from other milk-cheese producers: the total control of the chain, whose “heart” is Unigrana, at the centre of an integrated commercial and manufacturing system which comprehends agricultural, breeding, manufacturing, trading and marketing activities.
Granterre Union is placed above this system, being able to count on:
96 producers, 71 cheese factories which represent around 1,600 cattle breeding and around 1,000 hectares of lands and pastures transformed into biological crops devoted to the production of the biologic Parmigiano Reggiano, not to mention the floricoltures and pig breeding.

Finally, Artecasearia is the Granterre’s Research & Development company which backs up the Union’s entire system by guaranteeing a high qualitative standard with the support of its qualified technicians and specialised labs.

The name Unigrana has always been coupled with tradition and continuous innovation: from applied technology to projects which anticipate market trends, to a service which tries to meet the modern distribution by providing new logistic solutions.

The customer’s protection is Unigrana’s target. The more innovative a project is and appeals to tradition, the more necessary is to offer guarantees to protect one’s customers; this requires also resources, skills, exhaustive researches and consistent developing times.
And above all in a low concentration area, with many small operators, only a Group with suitable dimensions can guarantee controls and certifications on the whole chain and – consequently – the integrity and reliability of its offer. Unigrana and the companies of the Granterre Union develop marketing plans on a sound agricultural-industrial basis providing its distribution partners and users with reliable solutions.
