Oils and fats
OILS AND FATS FOR INDUSTRY
We design and create specific semi-finished products to meet our clients’ needs.
With 50 years of experience in the world of oils and fats, the ability to work with these raw materials is in our company’s DNA. Unigrà processes vegetable oils and fats of diverse botanical origins: not only palm oil but also alternative solutions such as cocoa butter, shea butter, salt, coconut, and fluid oils like high oleic sunflower oil. The use of dedicated refining lines ensures a high and consistent quality product. Thanks to our consolidated know-how, we can design the right fat for the specific needs of each application, achieving a unique level of specialization and customization.
Through processes such as hydrogenation, interesterification, and fractionation, we can create a myriad of products or tailor-made formulations, working side by side with our customers to develop innovative solutions. The large production and storage capacity of the facility, equipped with a tank park of 150,000 tons of fluid oils and fats, allows us to meet the needs of all customers promptly and flexibly, even outside the EU. All formulations containing palm oil and its derivatives are RSPO certifiable.

Production of Raw Materials
One of Unigrà’s strengths is the in-house production of one of the most strategic raw materials in many of our products, namely oils, fats, and plant extracts (the latter also derived from our agricultural productions).
The refinery, where we refine and process oils and fats, ensures that our departments always have a “fresh” product, refined shortly before use, and therefore free from defects related to oxidation, always suitable for application. Thanks to hydrogenation, fractionation, and interesterification processes, we can design the right fat for every ingredient and performance requirement.

The plants and processes used are designed in collaboration with leading international partners in the industry, with a continuous process of adjustment and streamlining carried out by our technical office.
Unigrà was the first in Europe to use “continuous dry fractionation”,a technology that has improved the process, making it more flexible and efficient. Our decades of experience in the oils and fats sector, combined with a variety of applications we produce within our facilities through the production of related products, allow us to internally test, produce, use, and offer customers the best solutions.
