We

A story ever bigger

Starting in 1989, our company history developed in a market that was in a state of constant transformation. The idea that guides us is that of total innovation: at the service level to satisfy and understand new customer requirements; at the manufacturing level to respond to the rapid increase in the complexity of printed circuit boards; at the organisational level in order to unite optimisation, speed and flexibility.

It is the philosophy and has conquered market quotas with, even in the years of manufacturers racing off to Far East, a period we launched a new production plant in Italy near Venice and we doubled the number of our staff.

Today, our company history
already dates back 30 years
and we would like
to continue making it grow.
