The company's manufacturing and sales activities involve a range of over 500 products, divided into the following categories:
- Deli meats (including prosciutto and cured specialities meats, cooked and roast ham, mortadella, salami, and frankfurters), which represent the 93% of total volumes in 2009.
- Other speciality foods (including cheese and balsamic vinegar of Modena), which represent the 7% of total volumes in 2009.
Most of the products marketed by the Fiorucci Group can be sold sliced, as chunks, or whole pieces.
Meat and other raw materials and finished products (cheeses, fresh pasta, balsamic vinegar, and other specialty foods) are supplied by producers who can guarantee high levels of quality, quantity, and efficiency.
These standards are ensured by the "Fiorucci Controlled Production Chain" system, which carefully selects suppliers on the basis of on-site inspections, and which takes into consideration their production capacity in relation to the Fiorucci Group's required volumes.
The "Fiorucci Controlled Production Chain", developed since 2003, is a full chain covering all raw materials that come into the company and all finished products that come out of it, including those put on the market. Being the Head of this chain, Fiorucci uses complete transparency to manage and monitor all manufacturing and distribution phases, from suppliers to the end consumer.
The pool of meat suppliers for its Italian production facilities is made up of approximately 70 companies, of which 60% are based in Italy, and with whom the Group has developed a stable relationship built up over many years.
With regard to sales, Fiorucci has created its own system of computerised order processing to allow efficient management of relations with agents throughout the territory and constant monitoring of all stages in the sales process.
Concerning logistic and distribution, the Fiorucci Group counts on a widespread organization with 32 transit points, 24 primary trucks and 200 secondary vans. Such distribution network allows to execute nearly 2.000 orders per day and to serve nearly 20.000 direct customers within 48 h from order.
