    Our history<\/div>\n
    \n

    \u201cThe pleasure, the pride of seeing one\u2019s own company prosper, gain credit, inspire confidence in an ever-wider clientele \u2026 are a spring of progress just as powerful as profit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n

    – Luigi Einaudi, President of the Italian Republic 1948\u20131955<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    1968<\/div>\n
    \n

    Fonderie Palmieri was founded in 1968<\/strong> from the transformation of the sole proprietorship \u201cLorenzo Palmieri\u201d.
    Lorenzo started out producing diesel engines for his own workshop, then established himself as a supplier of components for agricultural machinery and refrigeration compressors – <\/strong>still the company’s flagship product today.
    Over the following decades the foundry grew following the vision of its founder, summed up in the Einaudi quotation that still greets visitors at the entrance of the plant today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      A TECHNICAL PARTNER, NOT JUST A SUPPLIER<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Fonderie Palmieri’s mission goes beyond producing the casting. The goal is to support the customer at every stage of the component’s life cycle<\/strong>: from material selection and process simulation, through to delivery of the machined part ready for assembly.
      All critical skills – metallurgy, engineering, production, quality, logistics – are managed in-house by a single point of contact responsible for the outcome.<\/p>\n

      Fonderie Palmieri serves customers in Italy<\/strong> and Europe<\/strong> with an approach geared toward lasting technical collaboration: the partner to turn to when the component is critical and there is zero margin for error.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
