Headquarters
Our headquarters is located in Correggio (in the Italian province of Reggio Emilia) and occupy an area of 40,000 square meters, of which 15,000 m2 are taken up by production, rectification, denaturation and packaging plants, and also storage tanks with a total capacity of 6,000 cubic meters.
Our history
Silcompa was born in 1925 out of the initiative of a young Enea Pignagnoli who founded a winery for the production of local wines.
In 1962, together with his son Romano, he expanded the family business by purchasing a distillery, where they began the production of ethyl alcohol from vinous raw material.
From 1979 the family focused exclusively on the production and distribution of ethanol of agricultural origin.
In 1990, the Pignagnoli brothers, now in its third generation, began construction of the current plant with the engineering of modern equipment for the direct production of ethyl alcohol
Our values
These include careful attention to product quality; clear understanding of the specific needs and requirements of each customer; complete compliance with the commitments undertaken with customers, colleagues and business partners.
These guiding principles, combined with the daily endeavour of our staff, managerial skills and strategic investments, have helped Silcompa become a leading company in Italy and one of the largest and most reliable ethyl alcohol operators in Europe.
To continue offering customers a high quality service, we pursue a significant investment plan, based on the most modern technologies, to ensure the best product quality, safe working conditions and respecting environment issues
