History

Founded in 1969, ITALCALCE is today one of the most skilled production companies of lime destined to the most advanced and modern applications, and it represents the best Italian tradition in this sector.
 

Equipped with highly technological plants managed by integrated computerised systems, blast furnaces of last generation and top quality production systems, ITALCALCE boasts a production output of over 150,000 tons per year, strictly checked by an innovative chemical-physical analysis laboratory, ISO 9001/2008 certified, that ensures a constant quality level, also guaranteed by the CE marking.
 

The company is located in Terracina, a charming city by the sea, in Lazio, on the Tyrrhenian coasts. Thanks to the enviable strategic position at the centre of Italy, at only 100 kilometres from the port of Naples and 140 kilometres from that of Civitavecchia, ITALCALCE has developed business relations with many international maritime companies.
 

Choosing an ITALCALCE product means relying on a tradition and an expertise born in 1948, when Luigi Di Crocco decided to turn his own “craft” into a real Lime Industry.
 

Sixty years have passed since those “heroic” times, when the calcareous stones were transformed into quicklime after being cooked inside primordial furnaces built in the ground, fuelled by wood, shrubs and every combustible material offered by that time.
 

Nowadays ITALCALCE, the best heritage of that courageous adventure started up by Luigi Di Crocco, has reached the highest levels of updating in the sector, becoming a leading company proudly aware of its past history, when men counted more than machines.
