CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
Igreca is a company renowned for its expertise in the production of high-quality egg products. Its tailor-made manufacturing approach is distinguished by its commitment to innovation, quality, and meeting the specific needs of its customers. This approach enables Igreca to provide customized products that meet the varied requirements of the food and non-food industries.
STEPS IN THE MADE-TO-MEASURE PROCESS
Customer Needs Analysis
The first step in the tailor-made approach is an in-depth analysis of the customer's specific needs. This involves detailed discussions to understand expectations in terms of taste, texture, nutritional composition, and the final application of the egg products. Igreca works closely with each customer to ensure that all specifications are clearly defined.
Research & Development
Once the needs have been identified, Igreca's research and development (R&D) team springs into action. Thanks to a state-of-the-art laboratory and a team of experts, Igreca is able to create unique and innovative formulations. Laboratory tests enable us to develop prototypes that meet the quality and functionality criteria defined by the customer.
Testing and Validation
The prototypes we develop undergo a series of rigorous tests to ensure compliance with quality and food safety standards. These tests include microbiological analysis, sensory evaluation and stability checks. Products are also tested under real-life conditions to ensure that they fully meet customer expectations.
Production Pilot
Before moving on to large-scale production, pilot production is carried out. This enables us to verify the industrial feasibility of our products, and adjust manufacturing processes if necessary. This stage is crucial to ensure that the final product retains all its qualities during mass production.
Production and Follow-up
Once the formulation and process have been validated, mass production can begin. Igreca uses state-of-the-art equipment to guarantee efficient, high-quality production. Each batch is controlled to ensure total traceability and constant compliance with defined specifications. Post-production monitoring also enables us to gather customer feedback so that we can continue to improve our products.
Delivery and Customer Support
Last but not least, Igreca ensures that products are delivered under the best possible conditions. The company offers a responsive and efficient after-sales service to answer any questions and resolve any problems. Customer support also includes advice on use and suggestions for optimizing the integration of egg products into customers' production processes.
IGRECA production facilities at the cutting edge of innovation
A rigorous approach based on “total forward motion”, with independent, partitioned modules that follow the production flow from raw egg intake to processed output.
A rigorous approach
From the outset, IGRECA’s plant design has been based on the concept of “total forward motion”. Each module, corresponding to a key stage in the production process, is independent and partitioned off from the rest of the plant.
3 stages, 3 sectors
- Egg storage and breaking room (separation of white and yolk)
- Egg white before pasteurization
- Pasteurized egg yolk and whole egg
The raw egg enters the factory and follows a linear path, ending up in the opposite, processed state. To ensure perfect hygiene, these areas are clearly separated.
Partitioned sectors, qualified personnel
Operators pass through the plant via a central gallery. Strict clothing rules (single-use overalls and protective gear) and regulatory washing procedures are in place.
The quality laboratory carries out regular physico-chemical checks, in line with IGRECA’s HACCP approach.
Computer-aided production management
The IT tool developed for IGRECA ensures regularity in procedures, constant and rapid monitoring, and the ability to store and archive data.
