Golfetto, Sangati, Berga: three companies that have found in a common

mission, the know-how that has led them through the main steps of a joint path.

A PATH STARTED 90 YEARS AGO THAT TODAY

FINDS ITS ULTIMATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
WITHIN THE MARKETPLACE, BY BECOMING
PART OF PAVAN GROUP.
Golfetto Sangati was founded in 2010 when Pavan Group acquires the assets of GBS, a group built on
the synergy of three companies with 90 years of qualified experience in the milling industry.
Through this acquisition Pavan Group completes its range of services, so offering integrated technologies
and plants for the manufacturing of raw materials, from the ship unloading to the final packaging.

Manufacturing Units
Today the Group can count on three manufacturing
units. A new plant in Manfredonia was added on
to the historical one of Berga in Quinto di Treviso,
while for the Asiatic market, a manufacturing unit
was opened in China in 2003.

HISTORY
During the last century, the Groups history developed
itself following the interweaving stories of the three single
companies. These paths have led to the current Golfetto
Sangati, a company that represents the arrival point of this
long journey that started in the Twenties.

the Seventies, a recognized leader in the engineering and

building of mills, animal feed plants, cereal storage and
handling for harbour terminals. The company expanded
itself even more, with the opening of new branches in
Europe and Northern Africa.

Golfetto, originally founded in Padua, specialized in the

engineering of cereal manufacturing plants. Its foundation
is the starting point from which all future events took
place. It was followed by Sangatis foundation, in 1929, a
company that in just a few years became a renowned name
in the milling industry.

Towards the end of the Eighties, Berga acquires Sangati.

Its the beginning of a new process that will lead to a new
generation of highly automated and computerized systems
and machines. The technological prestige of the two milling
schools merges into each other, giving a new impulse to the
cereal transformation processes, which represents the peak
expression of todays milling industry. The final merge took
place in 1997: Sangati Berga was born.

In 1952, Berga S.p.A. was set up. At first the company

specialized in milling machines and silos. It then widened its
business to the animal feed production, becoming during

step. The company acquires 50% of the capital stock of
Golfetto S.p.A. The result is a very profitable combination of
engineering technologies and know-how, which necessarily
brought to an integration of the technical, productive and
sales departments of Sangati Berga and Golfetto, thus
realigning the whole companys organization and its new
intern resources to a new working situation.
This is how GBS group S.p.A. was born, holder of the
Sangati Berga and Golfetto brands: two product lines
capable of satisfying even the most demanding requests
coming from the marketplace, with technologically
advanced and customized solutions.
In 2010 Pavan Group acquires the assets of GBS, giving
birth to the current Golfetto Sangati.
