The CLAI Cooperative
CLAI is an agricultural cooperative in Imola (BO) specializing in the production of cured meats, particularly salami, and fresh beef and pork. In recent years, the cooperative has acquired the historic Parma Zuarina ham factory in Langhirano (PR) and the Faggiola dairy cooperative in Palazzuolo sul Senio (FI), renowned for its artisan-made Tuscan cheeses.
We cultivate values to produce goodness
From farm to fork
A controlled supply chain 'from farm to fork', through the expertise, care and passion of people, integrating the value of tradition with the new nutritional needs and lifestyles of the modern consumer.
Let's plant the future
Through the reforestation project in the hamlet of Sasso Morelli, around 'Villa La Babina' and its park, CLAI is promoting an ecosystem of biodiversity to grow people's quality of life, and to preserve the signs and memories of time, cultures and successive generations.
CLAI FRIENDS: volleyball, rugby, and handball in the name of values
The "CLAI FRIENDS" project combines sport and education to promote the values of cooperation through three outstanding local sports teams: CLAI Volley, Pallamano Romagna, and Scuola di Rugby di Imola.
In particular, Polisportiva Volley CSI CLAI was founded in 1969 by Francesco Spadoni and his wife Anna Maria Loreti, with the aim of using volleyball as a training tool for young athletes.
Since then, growth has been steady: generations of athletes have passed through the training grounds with a dual mission—to learn how to play and to learn how to live the values of cooperation.
The 2023/2024 season brought historic promotion to Serie A2, which was then confirmed the following year.
For the 2025/2026 season, the team is led by captain Sofia Cavalli, a setter who came up through the youth ranks, and boasts a mix of experience and youth.
Coach Simone Bendandi and assistant coach Odelvis Dominico Speek are leading the team toward new goals.
The youth sector is the pride of the club, offering development programs for athletes of all ages.
