It all began with a hole in the wall.
Twenty-year-old Aurelio Sangalli, working as an engraver in Milan, had a sudden insight: he realized that mass-producing even simple metal components could be far more profitable than his current work.
Sharing the idea with his family, he found effective support from his father Mario and brother-in-law Luigi. After acquiring their first machine tool, they were faced with an unexpected challenge: it wouldn’t fit in their home. Undeterred, they knocked a hole in the wall, making room not just for the machine, but for their new venture. It was the first step in breaking barriers and embracing the innovative spirit that still defines our company.
Today, that very machine stands proudly in our reception area, a powerful reminder of how a young man’s vision, family support, and out-of-the-box thinking sparked the journey that built our Group.
