About us
TECHNOLOGY AT ITS HEART
PHILOSOPHY
A unique way of being and making that can be summed up in two words: “Feed good “.
Literally, it means “nourish well”, but for us the meaning goes far beyond. With the word “nourish” we express taking care, dedication and passion, that we put in caring for animals’ well-being, and that are suggested by the word “good”.
Feed good
We do good things because we give our best in preparing high-quality products. And, so far, there is much more…
We also care about the health of animals and operators; we work closely with stock farmers and feed industry; we are really close to the daily problems of our Customers.
Feel good
Our taking care extends to the environment that we protect by adopting sustainable development principles, such as new methods for carefully using resources, and in studying new solutions to optimize consumptions and waste.
A philosophy that allows us to proceed toward the future with our Customers, to go “Together, further on”.
APPROACH
DOES IT BETTER. FOUR TIMES BETTER.
We do not only think about nutrition and care but also work for the protection and the development of innovative solutions that differentiate our products of the three lines:
Our range of products includes:
Nutrition supplements
Complementary feed
Additives
Natural products
Veterinary drugs
Eubiotics and prebiotics
Acidifying products
De-toxicants
Anti-mold and mycotoxins binders
Sanitizing products
Total control of the product, from design, to study and production, guarantees high and homogeneous quality standards.
Results that allow us to operate as a manufacturing workshop authorized to produce for third parties.
When you hold of a pharmaceutical license, you can contact our Pharmaceutical Workshop and rely on the guarantee of a product made with the utmost production rigor, following accurate procedures, which provide for the continuous analysis and verification, according to the strictest food, feed and pharmaceutical international regulations.
HISTORY
1967 - IT'S OUR BIRTHDATE
It’s our date of birth, as a spin-off of the veterinary division of a Dutch multinational company. We are almost pioneers in this field, with a passion and enthusiasm that still inspire our work today. If the enthusiasm of those days is intact, the technological and financial resources are very different today: Dox-al has become a solid and well-established group.
1968 - OUR FIRST PLANT
We celebrate our first year and move our first steps as a manufacturer. The emotion of the first factory, in Monza, is never forgotten, as well as our debut in a new world.
1974 - DOX-AL ITALIA IS BORN
After having consolidated the first results, we are ready for a new challenge and create a new independent company: Dox-al Italia SpA.
1977 - DOX-AL TEN YEARS LATER
The decade does not only confirm the expectations of the origins but also raises the bar, with new and more ambitious goals. The increase in demand makes us move our production plant to Correzzana (MB), in a building having the appropriate size for the company’s development.
1982 - THEPAX®
Our technological research evolves and allows us to develop highly innovative products such as THEPAX®, the revolutionary prebiotic obtained through the application of advanced biotechnology. It’s one of the international patents registered by Dox-al.
1985 - BMP®
The need of preserving the health and well-being of animals and operators leads to the creation of bimodal protection BMP®, a cutting-edge technology that responds to the most severe safety requirements for the operator and the environment. It is another international patent, that will spread all over the world.
1994 - DOX-AL JOINS CRAFT
The growth of our international presence and the care for the environment, that are both parts of our genetic code, prompt us to join Craft – an EU cooperative research program.
1998 - WE OPEN OUR NEW PREMISE
Thirty years from the first production plant in Monza: another stage in our path. It is the turn of Sulbiate (MB): a new site for the production of medicines and technological products, where we also establish our research laboratories.
2003 - WE FIX OUR HEADQUARTER IN SULBIATE
We finally move our offices to Sulbiate (near Monza), which becomes our main operating headquarter. The centralization of the activities, the size, the layout of the site, further to the aesthetic value of the building are a step forward for the quality of our work.
2007 - R&D LAB
The increasing importance of the research decides us for the realization of an R&D lab to engineer our manufacturing processes. We start also a chemical laboratory next to a microbiological one, and a laboratory dedicated to the analysis of mold and mycotoxins. All of them are authorized to carry out analysis on behalf of third parties.
2013 - MEDRO
We launch M.E.D.R.O. (Middle East Dox-al Representative Office) an office in Cairo, Egypt, to manage and coordinate the business and our promotional activities in North Africa and in the Near and Middle East.
2014 - SAFE COBALT CARBONATE
We obtain the European 3b-304 recognition for Cobalt II carbonate in BMP® granules; the legislator uses the BMP® granule as a reference for the definition of the characteristics useful to guarantee health and safety protection for all operators and users of potentially toxic materials.
2018 - NEW FOOD DEPARTMENT
The expansion of our activities leads us to set up a new department, this time dedicated to the production of food additives.
2019 - GMP+ CERTIFICATION
We obtain the international GMP+ certification, which recognizes the correctness of manufacturing processes, transport and feed commercialization. Once again, our commitment places us on the front line of food safety.
2020 - ECOVADIS SILVER MEDAL
We are awarded with the Silver Medal by EcoVadis, the world’s most reliable supplier for assessments on corporate sustainability issues, with over 65,000 companies analyzed in more than 160 countries. They examinated aspects related to the respect of the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable purchasing. The rigour with which we manage our production processes and the policies adopted to preserve quality, safety and environment allowed us to be counted in the 25% of the best analysed companies in the sector.
2022 - Integrated Quality/Security/Environmental certification
We obtained integrated Quality/Security/Environmental certification, which recognises our commitment to adopting environmental sustainability policies related to reducing the consumption of natural resources and energy, and to preventing pollution. Furthermore, it has been certified that the company correctly implements all measures to guarantee health and safety in the workplace, a requirement used by leading international companies to qualify their suppliers.
