Who we are.
Our company is a big family that includes our colleagues and our business partners as strategic suppliers and customers.
This, together with great customer care and careful and continuous research into new products, has meant that FDstore has become the largest Italian company for the supply of machinery, ingredients and packaging in the dairy sector .
Our story.
Our story begins a long time ago, at the end of the 19th century in the lands between Modena and Reggio Emilia, where our Ferrari family produced Parmigiano Reggiano. And it continued to produce it for generations, until Domenico found FDstore in 1989.
Initially rooted in the Parmigiano Reggiano area, our company has expanded to intercept the need for a revolution in the Italian dairy sector: in 2008, the first Milk&Cheese machines were produced, real ultra-compact electric mini-dairies , which were joined by a series of essential products for the artisanal production of cheeses, such as semi-finished fruit products for yogurt, rennet, ferments, and all the food packaging necessary for dairy production.
We have been the first company in Europe to provide a complete package to small Italian artisanal dairy producers from machinery to ingredients to packaging.
Our present.
In the years following the launch of the Milk&Cheese machinery, the Fruttato line of semi-finished fruit products for yogurt and the Geppetto food packaging line, we took root throughout Italy, increasingly expanding the range of our products and services for customers.
We subsequently decided to invest in a related sector, and opened a chain of ice cream shops: La Mukkeria .
This has allowed us to develop machinery and ingredients specifically for the agricultural world and to propose the Gelato Agricolo Project to our customers as a further step in the expansion of their agricultural business. Every year, many customers who produced “only” yogurt and dairy products decide to take a new path and also produce Gelato Agricolo in jars.
In 2015 we realized that in the Italian dairy world there was a need for a technical training and dairy consultancy body and we invested in this sector, founding Accademia Italiana del Latte , the first in Italy to provide online dairy training courses.
During the lockdowns of the covid period, Accademia allowed many people to train online remotely and increase their knowledge to then open new dairy processing businesses.
Our customers know it: we are innovators and we always bring valid innovations to our sector.
Your future.
A company like FDstore bases its success on the constant desire to face new challenges with a view to finding winning solutions for its customers.
In 2019 we decided once again to be innovators and to be the first to open the most complete online shop for ingredients and packaging in the dairy world : FDstore SHOP . This tool allows all our customers (and not) to purchase with just a few clicks all the products needed for the production of cheese, yogurt and dairy products. In 2023, more than half of the orders received come from our e-commerce site.
Our machines are the only ones on the market that can be completely managed remotely , bringing the cheese production experience to an unsurpassed level of usability and competence, complying with the criteria of Industry 4.0 and 5.0.
In 2020 we were the first in Europe to launch a line of paper packaging for yogurt Paper Pack , to allow our customers to reduce or eliminate the use of plastic.
In 2022 we equipped our headquarters with a photovoltaic system, achieving energy independence with zero environmental impact .
And while we do all this, we continue to invent and propose new flavors of semi-finished fruit products for yogurt, new preparations for milk-based desserts, new packaging formats, new cultures of ferments for the protection of dairy products, and much more.
With FDstore you will always have the best, before anyone else.
Our values.
As you may have understood, we are a company with strong principles and values and by becoming our customers you will also become part of it.
