Our Company’s name is FERRARIO FOUNDRY: it was founded in 1972 by Mr GIANCARLO RUGGERI, who worked with care and passion. At that time FERRARIO FOUNDRY started working for the industry and in particular it made castings for several important machine tools producers, whose Companies were nearby.
As time passed, our foundry became bigger and bigger; in 1990 the industrial production was made wider and our first range of outdoor furniture, including benches and garden tables, was produced.
In the year 2000, Mr MASSIMILIANO RUGGERI, who is the son of the owner, joined the Company and his arrival gave a new boost to the business.
In 2002, FERRARIO FOUNDRY started making castings for the automotive industry and for motor components for a number of leading car manufacturers.
This is our corporate goal for the near future: our customers will be offered a service based upon quality products, upon their constant improvement and development, upon regular supplies, prompt customer service and deliveries.
