About Us
I.P.D. s.r.l. (Industria Prodotti Dietetici) was founded by Giuseppe Polverini, the owner of the homonymous “Polverini Mill”, belonging to the fourth generation of a miller’s family.
Our history began in the second half of 1800, when the family founder, Nazzareno Polverini, born in 1854, began his business with a small watermill near Ancona, in the centre of Italy.
His three sons widen his activity with the construction of three more mills.
One of them, Pietro, together with his son Italo, Giuseppe's father, bought a mill with stone grinders and transformed it into a modern system for producing white flour, which had a big demand at that time.
This system worked until 1972; then Italo bought the current mill in Monte San Vito and an industrial bakery in Ancona, entrusting the bakery to his son Carlo and the mill to his son Giuseppe, who, beyond producing flour for bakeries, started the separation of different fractions composing wheat through special systems and partly planned by himself.
This activity allowed Giuseppe to supply, in the years 1985-90, some companies of Parmalat group with special flours and, at their leaders' suggestion, in 1996 he founded I.P.D. s.r.l.
After a big waste of energies, time and financial resources, he could finally patent the manufacturing process for a new dietetic product, FiberPasta, which is useful for people's health and has a pleasant taste. As a reward for hardly doing his job, the Italian Ministry of Health recognized the healthy qualities of FiberPasta through a Decree and furthermore our customers send us satisfied message every day.
