2007 Fall Catalog




As grandson of Giuseppe Cozzini and third generation Cozzini owner, I am very proud to be celebrating Cozzini Group’s 100 year anniversary.

From humble and courageous beginnings in 1907, Giuseppe Cozzini emigrated from Italy to the United States and founded a successful knife sharpening business in Chicago.

Through a century of commitment, development and change, a world-class company emerged.

Today, Cozzini Group is renowned worldwide as a prominent designer and manufacturer of reliable food processing equipment and fully integrated systems.

Still maintaining its old world focus on excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, Cozzini Group owns and operates a number of manufacturing, sales and service locations in various international markets, employing over 300 associates. Cozzini Group is also represented globally by independent sales and service agencies.

Our century-long journey of designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art equipment led Cozzini to the invention and advancement of numerous, revolutionary food process technologies and international patents.

We at Cozzini are proud to be the original inventor and developer of the following technologies amongst many others:

•The Prime
Cut continuous force-fed
emulsion/reduction process.

•The SUSPENTEC® process of injecting
natural meat into meat.

•The FastHam continuous ham process.

•The PRIMEdge® cup and spiral stone
sharpening equipment.

•The ERGO STEEL® ergonomic edge
maintenance tools.

All of these developments and equipment lines continue to have a strong positive impact on the industries we serve worldwide.

We are excited and optimistic as we enter our second century and I take great pleasure
inviting you to visit the Cozzini booth at the AMI Expo in Chicago, October 24-27.
Our booth is located at the front of the exhibit hall- you can't miss us. You'll see our
latest technologies, many of which are shown in this website. Please stop by and
let me personally introduce you to the products and diversity of talent within the
Cozzini Group.

Sincerely,

Ivo Cozzini
