About Fratelli Tassalini Officina Meccanica S.p.A.
For the last 80 years Tassalini has been designing and manufacturing its own range of high-tech stainless steel valves and fittings. F.lli Tassalini Officina Meccanica was founded in 1922 in Via Lamarmora, in the heart of Milan, when Riccardo Tassalini opened a workshop for the production of mechanical parts for the aeronautical industry. As a result of the crisis in the Italian aeronautical industry at the end of World War II, F.lli Tassalini converted its production in order to supply the textile industry. The company — which started to gain application experience in stainless steel in the forties — started to produce fittings and valves for plants manufacturing synthetic textile fibres.
In 1963 F.lli Tassalini relocated to Peschiera Borromeo and began to create components designed for new market sectors: the wine and the food and beverage industries. In 1980 Tassalini transformed into a public limited company and during the same period started to add precision valve production for food-processing plants to its components business.
In 1989 the company opened a new facility in Peschiera Borromeo covering 7,000 square metres. This made it possible to achieve accurate production planning, control and inventory, as well as allowing the installation of a series of latest generation machine tools. Even the marketing department was boosted: in 1982 a customer service centre for the wine industry was set up in Canelli.
Today the company range is purchased not only by the food and beverage industries, but by biotechnological, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. All products are stocked in standard dimensions and manufactured in conformity with the main international standards. In 1996 a facility specialising in tube finishing processes was opened in Pandino. The marketing map has since grown further: F.lli Tassalini is today active in the European and world markets through a network of dealers, distributors and its own branches.
