We enjoy a really unique technological know-how. Its origin dates back to the year 1946 when our founder, Dr. Mario Pavan, started his own business designing technologies and processes for wheat-based types of pasta to which, later on, he added a business dealing with design and supply of innovative technologies based on low-shear extrusion for pellets, breakfast cereals and baby food. Soon after this business had been dismissed, Dr. Mario Pavan established Mafin Spa, which was inaugurated on April 25th, 1991. The aim was to exploit our talents and know-how in a synergetic co-operation with the market of snacks manufacturers.

After 25 years of proactive operations, the original choices:

• of growing the most talented technologists and operation staff in the pellet field;
• of furnishing the company with the most fully equipped R&D department in our field,with small industrial scale processing lines;
• of keeping at the highest levels the budget allocation for NPD and technological development;
• to have an internal engineering division taking full responsibility of our technical development and design of our processing lines;

have proven to be far – seeing and founding the added value of our business!

TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS UNIQUE, EXCLUSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY PELLETS

HOW?

• keeping our focus just on pellets: either on their development or their production, but just on pellets;
• offering original and exclusive pellets for the purpose of manufacturing original and exclusive snacks. Several of our items are manufactured according to processes protected by our patents. Pellets which are made through our exclusive know how are the best insurance policy to protect your success from easy me-too competition;
• encouraging our customers to reinforce their product visibility and brand awareness, thanks to unique snacks based on our original pellets;
• adopting, often unilaterally, a ‘1 pellet for 1 customer’ strategy. As all our customers know, the exclusivity option is offered to all of our counterparts;
• considering among our duties not to encourage competition against our customers in their domestic market. This also means to be prepared to deny our availability to supply the same items to our customers’ competitors;
• granting our customers the highest pellets’ quality. This is possible thanks to the continuous commitment of Mafin in terms of allocation of very important human and financial resources, to improve our QC system, manufacturing methods and processes, QC Management software;
• making available our talents, know-how and passion to our customers, with our maximum commitment for their success.

The natural consequence of all that is: the establishment of long-lasting and trustful relationships with our customers. Which is what we care most!
