Loyalty

There are plenty of people who can follow instructions, but there are never enough leaders, managers, winners who are capable of coordinating their thoughts with their actions, putting their mind, their soul and their heart into what they do, living with enthusiasm, making room for their own vitality and creativity.

All the staff who work for us do so because they believe in us, they are involved in our work, and we lead them to think, reason and act as a group, acquiring day by day a strong sense of belonging to our firm.
We all share the same goal and we are intimately aware that our personal contribution is both precious and essential for achieving it.

fugar ricerca e sviluppo

Ever since the company was founded, we have had a specific goal in mind: to provide our clients with high technology compound ingredients with complete respect for tradition and the natural origin of the product.
By "high technology", we mean "Fully and totally preserving the natural freshness of natural products within the compound ingredient, simplifying the daily work of gelato-makers".

In order to achieve this, Fugar has a long-standing and experienced team of technicians.
Over the years, the Research and Development team has developed a particular talent for designing and developing recipes in line with new market trends. Our absolute priority is placed on identifying the best possible material with the highest possible quality standards.

The real, beating heart of our work is the unity of Man and Technology.

Quality is an absolute value - never a compromise.

We are totally convinced that quality is not an option, but an absolute value. Our work begins by carefully selecting all the raw materials, which we add to the most advanced technology, highly qualified staff and accurate laboratory analyses in order to obtain total quality compound ingredients.

PLANT BASED CERTIFICATION

Obtained in December 2022, the Plant Based certification represents Fugar’s latest ambitious goal, as a response to an ever-increasing demand for plant-based products, requested by vegetarian, vegan or simply consumers who choose this type of diet.
The decision to undertake a certification process by a highly accredited external body - Bioagricert – was dictated by the desire to offer our customers the possibility of purchasing products obtained with safety and guarantee without the use and contamination of any ingredient/ adjuvant/auxiliary of animal origin and which does not derive from genetically modified organisms (Reg. EC 1829/03).


HALAL CERTIFICATION

Halal certification is not only the result of months of research and development, but above all demonstrates our desire to learn and understand our clients culture, as well as our constant commitment to meeting their needs.
Fugar is a great supporter of cultural values, and we strongly believe in ethical principles - this is the way we do business: with respect and care.
Halal certified products are marked with an H.

ORGANIC

Keeping up with the trends and in line with the values of Quality, Constant Improvement and Transparency, Fugar wanted to enrich its already wide range of products with a whole organic line. Our R&D Department carries out a daily selection on suppliers, incoming raw materials supplies and acts in order to guarantee our customers the best qualitative standard possible. Our organic range of products is guaranteed, controlled and certified by CCPB (Association for the Control of Organic Products), an association able to control and certificate, licensed by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Forest and Food Policies.
