Our company
Redess S.r.l.
In 2015, I9factory S.r.l. she was contacted as
an incubator by two young researchers to
investigate the use of sumac in the food
sector.
In 2019, I9factory Srl, is a company tutor in
Gabriele Falco degree thesis, hosted by the
Department of Food Science and Technology
of Parma, where 7 sumac powders are
compared, therefore characterized, from 7
different countries: Lebanon, Israel, Iran,
California, Jordan, Turkey and Sicily.
Also in 2019, i9factory files a patent for a blend
that also includes Sumac, which slows down
the rancidity of dry baked goods and increases
their storage times.
In November 2020 i9factory S.r.l. decides to
set up Redess S.r.l., an innovative startup
based in Termini Imerese, and to buy land for
the production of 100% Italian sumac.

100% Italian sumac
Our cultivation of sumac in Sicily
In 2020 I9factory organized a collection of Sumac
berries, which allowed it to dispose of about 350 kg
of product, coming from different areas of Sicily:
Castronovo di Sicilia, from Caltagirone, from San
Biagio Platani, from Messina and Trapani.
Finally, the help of two I9factory collaborators, food
technologists, allowed the company to take a
census of the Sicilian areas richest in spontaneous
sumac.
Thanks to the production of an autochthonous
Sicilian sumac, Redess S.r.l. today it can boast
a 100% Italian natural product, without the
addition of imported products.
