Sordi SRL
About Us
Established in 1881 by Melchiorre Sordi, Sordi Srl has played ever since its inception a leading role in the dairy sector, thanks to the constant search of innovative solutions.
Sordi was the first company in Italy to produce liquid rennet, following the new technology that was gaining ground in the last half of the 19th century in France and Northern Europe with the following production of the first machines.
Sordi took part in the universal EXPO Paris exhibition in 1900 where it exhibited its own milk processing machines (skimmers, ice-making machines), rennet, chemicals and technological aids.
The company continued its development and innovation activity throughout the 20th century: Melchiorre, Knight of Labor in 1919, was succeeded by his son Carlo who continued the activity during the two world wars and, in the 1950s, by his grandson Mario.
The machines and systems realized by Sordi have obtained important awards all over the world; over the years Sordi has been the undisputed protagonist of the innovations that have characterized the dairy world: from the development of the first UHT STERIPLAK milk lines of the early 60s to the continuous machines REINFORM for the production of pasta filata; from POLIMEC coagulation vats to the introduction of automation and mechanization in the production processes of the 70s.
In the 21st century, the Company, still a protagonist, has expanded the production range and has included further sectors of the food branch.
Francesca, Cristina and Federica Sordi continue the business in compliance with the principles that have inspired the founder's mission from the beginning: innovation, competence and reliability.
