The Della Toffola company
Della Toffola was established in the Sixties, when it started making its first stainless steel vertical crushers and presses. Though the company had only just got started, its distinctive dynamism and manufacturing ability immediately gave it the impetus to compete with the far larger industries operating in the wine-making sector, focusing on finding innovative solutions.
The Group continued to grow and extended its product range to filters, and the company soon became a reference for quality in the winemaking sector.
The speed with which it was able to grasp the changes underway in such a sparklingly lively market was combined with a capacity to look to the international scene and led to 50% of its production being exported, as well as meaning that the Group owned by the brothers Vittorio, Francesco and Luciano was ready to expand its activities to the whole of the winemaking sector.
· In the Eighties, the company introduced a new line of filtering machines (vacuum filters) that marked a huge technological advance and consolidated the company's role as a world leader in this field.
The Nineties were characterized by the company's strong growth, achieved by means of mergers with Italian companies operating in complementary fields, by the Group's diversification into new market sectors, the launching of new machines, and the opening of branches abroad.
Another step that saw the company further consolidate its standing involved the acquisition of Cingano (which had been in existence ever since 1925) and Sirio Aliberti (the Italian company that takes the merit for producing the first pressure tank in 1953).
· Meanwhile, the range of activities was enlarged to include the waste water treatment sector, as well as the development of systems for the foodstuffs and chemical industries.
· With its innovative pneumatic press, the company was again in a world of its own, thanks to its research into alternative solutions.
· From 1996 onwards, it has been treading the path towards a global dimension, growing larger and larger, opening Della Toffola branches in France, Spain, Argentina and Chile, and thus assuring not only a commercial, but also a manufacturing presence in all the most important winemaking markets of the world.
· Its latest innovation is the cross-flow filter, using ceramic filters that guarantee a virtually unlimited working life, a vast improvement over the versions with organic membranes. The level of the company know-how and the expertise it has gained in more than 40 years of activity now enable Della Toffola to provide turnkey systems, competing as a leader in its sector on all the markets of Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia, and spreading the name of Della Toffola all around the globe.
