    Since 1947, Mazzoni has been at the forefront of innovation and excellence in the soap manufacturing industry. Our commitment to quality and technological advancement is exemplified by our historic plant, still operating flawlessly after 77 years of dedicated service. 🏭✨ The Vacuum Drying Process, pioneered by our founder Ing. Giuseppe Mazzoni, revolutionized soap production. Before this invention, liquid soap was dried using chilled rolls, a method that merely cooled and hardened the soap. Mazzoni’s ingenious solution involved injecting hot liquid soap into a vacuumed cylindrical drum, allowing for precise control over the soap’s moisture content. This breakthrough not only improved the quality of the soap but also enhanced production efficiency. 🧼🔬 Today, as a valued part of the Ballestra Group, Mazzoni continues to uphold its legacy of reliability and durability. Our advanced technology, developed in 1947, still produces top-quality soap noodles, showcasing our brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence. 🚀🔧 Join us in celebrating this remarkable journey and the innovation that has stood the test of time. Here’s to many more years of pioneering and excellence! 🥂🎉 #Mazzoni #BallestraGroup #Innovation #Reliability #Durability #SoapManufacturing #Technology #Heritage #Excellence
