THE PIERALISI GROUP
The Pieralisi Group now controls approximately 75% of the world market in
terms of edible oil production machinery, making it the uncontested leader
in this field. This is the result of the Group's pursuit of innovation. In
fact, Pieralisi has created new extraction techniques, improving the quality
and the yield of the oil. These developments have also led to a drastic
reduction in the amount of labor required in the oil mill. This position of
leadership was attained on the strength of a technological revolution at the
end of the 60s when the Group launched its first continuous system, which
grouped together all of the mill extraction functions, meeting the needs of
the individual customer.The Pieralisi Company was founded in 1888 in Jesi, Italy by the Pieralisi
family. From the beginning it marketed olive oil extraction equipment, and
by the 1960's had reached a position of undoubted world leadership in that
field.
Today The company employs about 350 personnel, and has an annual group
turnover of slightly over 150 billion Italian lire. A worldwide network of
branch offices and service centers enables the company to provide speedy and
efficient resolution of any customer problems or requests.
The Pieralisi Technical Department, equipped with the most advanced CAD
systems participates in many programs for technological research and
development in close cooperation with scientific institutes and universities
on both a national and international level.
A NEW METHOD
Waterless Extraction. In 1992, The Pieralisi
Group was the first to bring the new integrated two-phase extraction method
to market. In this process, no water has to be added which can alter the
flavor of the oil. Only the natural unheated water of the olives is needed.
Immaculate stainless steel surfaces virtually eliminate the cleanliness
problems of the traditional woven fiscoli pressing methods, which need
exhaustive cleaning between pressings to prevent old rancid paste from
degrading the product. These and many other Pieralisi features result in
some of the purest, highest quality extra virgin olive oil available
anywhere.
