Durum wheat is harvested in France, close to the production sites:

In all, they cover 50,000 hectares of fields, located from 50km to a maximum of 400km from our mills.
Panzani is one of a number of agri-food companies to have chosen to establish its head office in Lyon. Panzani moved its headquarters to Lyon in 1967, first to La Croix-Rousse district and then to the 6th arrondissement, before settling in the Monplaisir district. In August 2023, Panzani embarked on a new chapter in its history by relocating to the dynamic business district of La Part Dieu. This new head office embodies the dynamism of our company, and its location means we’re well connected to our production sites, thanks to its proximity to the station.
CRECERPAL, the Centre de Recherche sur les Céréales et les Pâtes Alimentaires (Research Centre for Cereals and Pasta) in Marseille, brings together experts working on the durum wheat sector and its innovations. Working with partners and specialists since 1973, it is helping the industry to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
The Durum Center, Panzani Solutions’ application centre, is dedicated to promoting and increasing the value of durum wheat for industrial and Food Service customers, and also has a Cook Show, a demonstration kitchen.
In 2024, Panzani celebrated CRECERPAL’s 50th birthday. This was an opportunity for the Panzani Group to produce a video to showcase its expertise in durum wheat.
