The Camozzi Group History

Attilio Camozzi quits his job as a turner and, together with his brothers Luigi and Geromino, embarks on an entrepreneurial adventure. He founds Camozzi and produces pneumatic components for industrial automation.

Acquisition of Campress, a company specialising in the hot moulding of brass.

Camozzi makes his Formula 1 debut with Scuderia Arrows. McLaren won the constructors' title and Mika Hakkinen won the drivers' championship in 1998, the 16th year of Camozzi sponsorship. Camozzi's team also included Senna, Berger, and Alboreto.

The company enters an important expansion phase that leads to the acquisition of Innse-Berardi which operates in the machine tools sector, Marzoli operating in the textile industry and PlastiBenaco (now called Technopolymers) a manufacturer of plastic components.

The strengthening of foreign positions is consolidated with the acquisition of some companies in the United States, Germany and China, and the establishment of foreign subsidiaries in different countries worldwide.

Acquisition of Newton Officine Meccaniche (light and medium-heavy metal processing for the following sectors: naval, large-sized engines, machine tools, electrotechnical industry).

Camozzi Digital was founded the same year, a new division dedicated to providing digital systems and platforms for businesses looking to implement IoT technologies capable of creating a Smart Factory.

A branch of the CRC becomes specialised, and MARC, a new interdisciplinary organisation dedicated to studying and creating components and systems combining electronics, mechanics, and software, is formed.

Thanks to a new logistics hub in Palazzolo Sull'Oglio (Brescia), Camozzi Automation can deliver all over Europe in just a few hours.
