The Unigrà Model
A tailored approach for your business.
Unigrà industrial products boast the safety and precision of a standardized model based on a tailor-made approach. In fact, each of our products is customized to the specific needs of clients and partners: We create projects suitable for various applications and processes, actively collaborating with client sand their structures. We align with European centers of excellence on contaminants to ensure high standards. Supply chain and transportation are carefully controlled and the refinery and transformation represent the heart of the company. We continuously define and verify the performance of products to maintain high-quality standards. The heart of our model is the product development R&D process.
Market or Customer Input
Ours is a tailor-made approach, developed to meet the needs of partners active in the food industry.
Thanks to the field experience and the ability to internally test the product, we can create and provide our customers with high-quality, customized recipes, differentiated by application and process type, meeting customer needs in terms of flexibility, speed, and efficiency. Our professionalism is enhanced by continuous market research and ensured by the valuable exchange of information with the sales network. Our strength is reliability, ensured by unceasing cooperation with the Quality Assurance and Control, Production, Management Control and Technical Departments, which enables us to assess the feasibility of the request and if not, to propose alternative solutions that can satisfy it. The ability to understand and embrace customer needs is made possible by constant communication and cooperation between our R&D department and our customers’ R&D function.
Development Phase & Prototype Testing
The professionalism and preparation of our R&D function is a high added value to our clients’ business through the implementation of ad hoc solutions structured on 3 main phases:
“We make a difference by combining protocols that act as quality assurance with a high level of customization, which ensures that there is a wide range of formulations.”
Definition of the recipe
Based on the customer’s specific requirements, a recipe that satisfies in terms of organoleptic characteristics and performance is defined, starting from an established know-how of formulation and knowledge of raw materials and preliminary laboratory tests.
Definition of the recipe
Pilot product realization
Application testing
Solution Delivered
The last stage of new product development is industrialization.
The recipe and parameters used at the pilot must be brought to industrial scale. Fundamental is the coordination between all business functions involved: research and development, together with quality assurance, supports production at this stage, so that the recipe and operating conditions are adjusted such that the product meets the specifications established at the prototyping stage. Initial industrialization trials are then sent to and tested by the customer until final product approval. The high level of production quality is guaranteed right down to the sourcing of raw materials: even for these, before being used in production, there is a protocol of not only application but also documentary approval, choosing suppliers in line with Unigrà’s quality standards, including religious and sustainability certifications. Our decades of experience in the field of oils and greases combined with a plurality of applications that we carry out in-house through the production of related products enables us to test in-house, produce, use and offer customers the best solutions.
