Sacco System is the culmination of international biotech excellence applied to the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. 

“System” expresses the extraordinary synergy between four companies: Caglificio Clerici, Sacco, Centro Sperimentale del latte srl and Kemikalia. It is a unique and functional network that maintains the characteristics and productive specificities of each entity.

Sacco is an Italian, family-owned company that offers a large range of innovative products. This includes starter cultures for food fermentation and nutritional supplements (probiotic cultures), as well as instruments for the improvement of food safety. The sister company, Caglificio Clerici, has been an Italian leader in rennet production since 1872 and in 2006, acquired the Swedish company Kemikalia. Sacco furthermore acquired the Italian culture producer, CSL, in 2013.
