Our History

The “story” of Camozzi begins in 1964 when in a small town in the province of Brescia called Lumezzane, three brothers, Attilio, Geromino and Luigi Camozzi, began producing pneumatic components for industrial automation.

Over the years the Group has experienced substantial growth by acquiring companies rooted in the historical industrial landscape both at national and international level, allowing the creation of the current 4 divisions:

Automation: After establishing the Italian branch in 1964, the first branch was set up in Germany in 1980 and since then over 21 sales and manufacturing offices and have been created throughout the world.

Machine Tools: Innse company was founded in 1887 and named Franchi after its founders; the Berardi company was founded in 1926. The acquisition of Innse in 1998 follows Berardi's acquisition by the Camozzi Group in 1997. Only after a general reorganization of these companies the two merged in 1999 to form the current Innse Berardi SpA. In 2003 Ingersoll Inc. was acquired, an american company established in 1887.

Textile Machinery: Marzoli Spa is one of the oldest Italian companies in the textile industry, founded in 1851 and acquired by the Camozzi Group in 1999, which also acquired the Vouk brand, a company held since 1998 by the same Marzoli SpA, becoming the only company actually capable of producing the entire line of machines for spinning cotton.

Manufacturing: founded in 2010, Camozzi Manufacturing is a business composed of eight Italian companies specialized in processing raw materials and machining. Campress (forging brass) which joined the Group in 1980, Camcasting (aluminum casting) formerly known as Fab, in 1995, Plastibenaco (plastic molding) in 1994, Newton Officine Meccaniche (heavy metal processing) in 2001, Marzoli Foundry (iron casting) a spin-off of the foundry department of Marzoli since 2009, Innse Milano (heavy machinery) in 2009 and Romano Abele (precision mechanics) in 2010.
