Specialised in the production of protein hydrolysates, the company valorises tanning industry by-products such as fleshing waste, trimmings and shavings, transforming them into biostimulants for agriculture and retardants for the plaster industry. This transformation, the result of experience and significant investment in R&D, is a clear example of how circular economy can be incorporated at every stage of production, resulting in high added value products.
Founded in 1960 in Chiampo, in the hub of Vicenza's Valle del Chiampo tanning district, SICIT has succeeded over time in evolving and anticipating market needs, and has now become world leader in its sector.
In addition to the production of protein hydrolysates, the company extracts and refines animal fat from tanning residues, placing it on the market as a high-quality biofuel. With its advanced plants in Arzignano and Chiampo, SICIT serves major players in the agrochemical and industrial sectors, promoting solutions that are both technologically advanced and totally green. This commitment to circular economy makes it possible to provide concrete answers to contemporary environmental challenges, reducing waste production and ensuring that every product is eco-friendly, safe and biodegradable.
SICIT understands the importance of partnerships with sector associations, both at local and national level. It is a member of recognised bodies such as EBIC (European Biostimulant Industry Council), CRA (Council for Research and Experimentation in Agriculture) and Confindustria Vicenza.
