Balconi history started in 1939 from the intuition of Mr. Balconi Luigi who opened, in Milan, a small mechanical workshop to produce precision fly presses.
In 1962, Balconi moved to its current headquarters in Varedo with an area of around 15,000 square meters where the son, Mr. Costante Balconi, began the production of manual mechanical presses, C-frame presses produced in series with the introduction, for the first time on the market, of the electronic combined with the mechanical presses with the releasing of the first electronic feeders.
Very soon, over the years, also thanks to the continuous technological evolution and the market requests of high-performance automatic machines, Balconi finds its main outlet, becoming in a short time a prestigious brand with quality recognized all over the world with its, ever-present, strong point: “the Balconi Plunger system” for the ram precision guiding.
Balconi has been the first company in its sector to certify the Quality Management System as early as 1995 in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 standard, now UNI EN ISO 9001:2015.
In the 2000’s the daughter, Mrs. Alessandra Balconi, managed the company continuing and supporting the new challenges of the market.
In a world of strong globalization, in 2009 Balconi joined FSD SNOP Group, a family company that today boasts 9200 employees, 40 manufacturing plants, 6 technical centers in 14 countries consolidating its presence as a successful international entrepreneurial reality.
