With 70+ years of carob pod processing, we’re the only fully vertically integrated company in the locust bean gum business.
A feat we’re unsurprisingly proud of.
LBG Sicilia’s Carob Kibbling Plant sits at the heart of our vertical integration system for locust bean gum. Based at our Ragusa facility in Sicily, the plant links responsible sourcing with carob seed separation, milling, and refinement in a fully integrated supply chain. Managing this first step in-house safeguards quality, guarantees traceability, and gives customers dependable availability.
Commissioned in 1969 and upgraded ever since, the plant spans 5,000 m². It provides 10,000 tons of carob-pod storage and delivers roughly 1,000 tons of Sicilian carob seed production each year. Dedicated organic silos and a separate warehouse maintain integrity for certified lots, while real-time monitoring supports tight control of yields and moisture.
