ZACMI

The Beginning, 3rd January 1954
The economic boom is a few years away, the Second World War is a distant memory and the future is no longer a threat. Whilst the Italian TV network transmits its first telecast, our story begins on January 3rd, in Bernabei Road: three employees and a great idea.
In fact, Mr. Giuseppe Zanichelli finds fertile ground for his vision: our venture begins constructing
mechanical components and pump parts.
New Headquarters, Via Mantova 65
This is the year when Gimondi wins the “Tour de France” and the Mont Blanc tunnel is opened; Zanichelli Meccanica grows towards new paths with four employees and nineteen factory workers; it is time to move on to the present headquarters in Mantova Street. The working space is larger and we also expand from makers of simple components towards the construction of entire filling and closing machines for the food industry.
In the meantime, our sales network spreads abroad through several trusted collaborators, some of whom are still with us today. Throughout these years the core business has changed and is now concentrated on food.
Our expansion leads to export and our presence in every continent.
