The Piccola Società Cooperativa Messina Agrumi is situated inside Mount Etna Park, in Fleri, a small village next to Zafferana Etnea.

The company was founded 120 years ago and has been owned and managed by four different generations.

It was established as a sole proprietorship in 1880 by Salvatore Messina who marketed only in Sicily.

In 1930 his son Giuseppe enlarged the market and sold his products all over Italy.

From 1972 the company has been managed by his sons Salvatore e Giovanni Messina who moved the company into the current premises and started marketing and packaging for themselves and other producers.

In 1983 the company creates the "Fiore di Sicilia" label and wins the prize "Ercole d'oro - per qualità e impegno di uomini ed aziende".

In 1995 it changes its name to Piccola Società Cooperativa and includes as partners Giuseppe and Giuseppe Daniele, the new generation.

The company specializes in citrus fruit marketing and creates the Miss Europa label.
    The company extends over a 1100 square meter surface and is dedicated to production, storage and refrigeration of citrus fruits.  
 
    Using modern technology and specialized personnel, the company can process 200 quintals of fruit a day, packaged in different size crates or in nets according to market request.
