ABOUT INALPA

WE'RE AN ARGENTINE FAMILY BUSINESS

We’re an Argentine family business. We created Inalpa in 1974, in Pavón Arriba, a town founded in 1891, which today has 1,922 inhabitants, and all of them are, in one way or another, part of the Inalpa family. We’re in the south of the Province of Santa Fe, 43 kilometers away from Rosario and 268 kilometers away from the city of Buenos Aires. Our mission is to produce food for all the country, creating progress and work in the town.

We’re pioneers in the production and canning of fresh vegetables and legumes. We do not only work on their cultivation and processing, but we also work devotedly every day to take them from the field to your table. As time went by, we’ve incorporated the new Vida Line, especially designed in collaboration with the Favaloro Foundation targeted at people who are required to have a more strict diet and ask for healthier food.

We’ve managed to supply for national and international consumption of healthy food. We have a wide variety of products and presentations in order for you to enjoy healthy meals at home, with your family or friends, but you may also find them in the best dishes at restaurants, bars, grill houses, take-away food or at the food stores that you prefer.

Find our products in wholesale stores, supermarkets, self-services and grocery stores in your neighborhood. You’ll find healthy food, without preservatives and ready to eat. Have you not tried them yet?

QUALITY AT THE ORIGIN

At INALPA, the raw material of our canned food is produced mainly in the south of the Provinces of Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, and Entre Ríos, where the combination of fertile soils and ideal weather for this type of crops allows us to elaborate high-quality canned food with a high nutritional value.

We have an Agricultural Division, which follows-up the production in our own and third-party fields. There, we work with around 200 producers to ensure the supply to the industrial facility.

“Our Development Plan seeks to maximize our areas of agricultural production, and in so doing, we ensure fresh products for national and international consumption.”

TECHNOLOGY

In 2013, we inaugurated our tinplate packaging factory, with an average daily production of 580,000 cans. This was possible thanks to the state-of-the-art Swiss, German, and Italian technology, and Soudronic and Mectra contributions as well.

We have packaging lines and can pre-vacuum filling and sealing lines that come from Italy, Zacmi brand, which belongs to Zanichelli Meccanica S.P.A., with an installed capacity of 600 cans per minute.

Our sterilization is performed through autoclave machines, which ensures the process of food preservation. In addition, we have six Sterifer® static autoclave machines from Maquinaria Ferlo S.A., which come from Spain, with fully automatized six-vessel circuits.

The industrial process is completed with the labeling and case packaging lines for each of the sizes available, with the incorporation of a fully automatized wrap around packaging machine suitable for different types of packaging, Mod.TC400 COMBI COMPACT (Prasmatic brand from Aetna Group S.P.A, Italian origin), which allows us to efficiently fulfill the entire supply chain.

At INALPA, we are in an ongoing process of updating all our industrial equipment, which positions us at the forefront of canned food manufacturing companies in Argentina.

PRODUCTION

We have three legume and cream canning lines for the following formats: 300 g, 840 g, and 2,950 g.

Likewise, we achieved an annual production of 120,000,000 cans, turning us into the company with the greatest corn kernels canning capacity in the country, with American state-of-the-art huskers and flotation separators.
