FROM PIONEERS TO UNDISPUTED INDUSTRY LEADERS
Can a company in just sixty years transform itself from a pioneer of Italian trout farming into a leading company in aquaculture in Europe? This is what happened at Erede Rossi Silvio, today one of the largest companies active in the sector. Since 1947, the year in which the founder Silvio Rossi started to raise trout in Sefro in Marche region, the company has grown at a exceptional rate, capitalizing experience from year to year.
Today the entire group is considered a prestigious and reliable business partner, with an efficient and well-coordinated work organization, made possible using technologically advanced structures and by the collaboration of expert staff also in high-level scientific research. The reasons of the success of Erede Rossi Silvio are great experience and the excellent intuitions of his men.
The most important moments of its history are represented by the buildings of the Norcia farms (1970), of Biselli di Norcia (1980), of Urago d'Oglio (1994) and of Torre Pallavicina in the province of Bergamo (1994) and by the New Gabriel of Ligneuville in Belgium (2002).
Furthermore in 2009 farms in the hills of Colli Sul Velino (Rieti), Popoli and Bussi sul Tirino (Pescara), Rivoli di Osoppo (Udine), Cittaducale and Rivodutri (Rieti) were acquired. In 2010 the feed mill in Cassolnovo (Pavia), and other farms in the hills of Rudiano (Brescia), Fontanella (Bergamo) and Calcio (Bergamo) were added.
The last acquisition in 2016 with the farm near L'Aquila, in Tempera.
In the 40s the founder Silvio Rossi, a pioneer convinced of an activity still to be undertaken in Italy, develops the intuition to raise trout in the impressive valleys of Marche. In the 1970s, his sons Niccola, Carlo and Mario decided to continue their father's business, gradually enlarging the company's development area.
Carlo will be entrusted with the production, hatchery, management of health problems and work organization, Mario will oversee administration and public relations, while Niccola, the true point of reference for the group, has the complex task of becoming the tenacious guide and the focus of the family business.
The charisma of this man, who personally and weekly follows all the farms, undoubtedly transmits his ideas to the team with authority and at the same time with simplicity and willingness to dialogue, and possesses a very far-sighted intelligence and perspicacity, which invests in the knowledge and careful study of American and European competitors, to perfect and consolidate the frontline position of Erede Rossi Silvio.
