Molino Peila

A history of 100 years

In the first half of the 19th century, a mill was built in the hamlet of Gallenca, in the small town of Valperga in the province of Turin. On 17th July 1924 Domenico Peila bought the mill and continued his family tradition of common wheat flour production.

During the 60s and 70s, the mill has been enlarged and developed by the sons of Domenico and, by the end of the 80s, it has been converted into a corn mill by founder’s grandsons, having foreseen what would be the successive developments in this field.

In the 80s Molino Peila becomes one of the first examples of company transformation within milling sector.

The early 2000s

In 2010 the company enlarged its products range by acquiring a plant for the milling
of rice, active until 2020.

In 2016 the production of a wide range of flours and mixes is launched in the conventional and organic lines. Innovation and high quality products for new market trends as flours from
cereals, legumes and superfoods, always gluten and allergen-free.
The products of the Molino

Molino Peila thus become a major industrial market leader for gluten-free raw materials, able to satisfy all the needs of the most important national and international customers.

The Molino Peila today

In 2019 Molino Peila laid the groundwork for a new factory exclusively devoted to rice processing, not just a rice mill for flours, but for polished and unpolished rice grains as well.

This state-of-the-art plant is the first in Europe able to join together cleaning, polishing and milling processes in order to get a wide range of items, conventional and organic-round, long and traditional rice, brown and white with different degrees of polishing.

Quality and certifications

In 2016, the company built its own small hydroelectric central, next to the main production plant. This central would support its energy needs.

In 2019 plastics of secondary packagings of the goods sold online were replaced by recycled cardboard and paper. 

In 2021 a new cogeneration system was built, a high-efficiency electric power plant.
The steam produced by 3 co-generators us recovered and used in our manufactuting processes instead of being released into the atmosphere.
Consequently, we are able to produce electric and thermal energy starting from one kind of energy source.
