The History of Paneco Ambiente
Passion, active engagement, and commitment to ecology have been the cornerstone of Paneco Ambientes’ corporate culture for over 40 years.
The investments into Research and Development in the biotechnology field, started in the 1970s aimed to optimise the management of manure produced by cattle farms, an activity carried out for generations by the family, the founder of the group, and holder of multiple patents and production processes.
Over the years, the constant and continued research efforts for innovative solutions and products, led to the creation of several different products applicable to multiple market segments.
Today, proprietary biotechnology products are used in a variety of sectors: in agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and in the environmental, public, and domestic fields.

Each product follows a strict development and prototyping protocol, followed by careful analysis of the results obtained under different application conditions.
In the years of its foundation, the company has initially focused its attention to the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors.
In the agricultural sector, one of the first product lines was the earthworm humus, from entirely traceable supply chain, followed by solutions to reduce the spread of plant protection products into the environment and, recently, natural deterrence systems against wild animals
Over the years, responding to the growing demand from some companies to solve industrial and environmental problems, PANECO AMBIENTE has engineered specific solutions to address those environmental challenges. This increased its reputation and market awareness and enabled the access to further activity sectors. This led Paneco Ambiente to engineer and launch new product lines.
The company controls the entire lifecycle for its products and technologies, from the prototyping phase in its own Research and Development laboratory, till their commercialisation by specialized personnel.
Today the company is still managed by the founders' family and reports a constant growth, thanks to a well-developed sales network spread throughout the country but also in Europe and at international level, through partners and distributors.
