About GREEN OLEO

GREEN OLEO (GRN:IM – ISIN IT0005549768) is one of Europe’s leading producers of fine oleochemicals from renewable and biodegradable sources. Based in Cremona, it was established in 2012 when the Buzzella family acquired the entire share capital of the company through the transfer of a business unit historically active since 1923 in oleochemical production and previously owned by Croda Cremona S.r.l. The company uses local raw materials, such as by-products from the food industry (mainly olive oil and animal fat), which undergo internal chemical processes such as splitting, distillation, separation, fractionation and hydrogenation, to obtain multiple oleochemical products such as distilled fatty acids with different matrices depending on the starting fat, stearic acids (stearines), oleic acid, glycerines, fatty acid derivatives (soaps) and esters. The Company operates in the Cremona plant, covering an area of 64,000 square metres (of which approximately 20,000 square metres are covered), where 90 people are employed, with an annual production capacity of 65,000 tonnes, of which 50,000 tonnes are fatty acids and glycerine and 15,000 tonnes are esters. The company’s customers are industrial companies operating in a wide range of sectors, such as detergents, elastomers, candles, paints, rubber and tyres, personal care and cosmetics, which carry out further specific processing for the target sector to produce the final products for consumers.
