As a company we care about our product and our team; our staff turnover is incredibly low and we even have examples of third generation of the same families who work in our factory.
The very first service engineer we employed became our Technical Director before retiring. Because we build machines to last, we value loyalty, longevity and experience very highly.
We have designed, developed and built sideloaders since 1969 in our factory in Cavaion, adding many buildings and updating our production process over the years. Here are a few of our incredible milestones achieved along the way…
